WARNING
A discharged batterycanfreeze attemperatures belowfreezing point.Whenjump-st artingthe
vehicle orcharging thebattery, gasescanescape fromthebattery. Thereisarisk ofan explo-
sion.
Allow thefrozen battery tothaw outbefore charging itor jump-st arting.
! Avoid
repeated andlengthy startingattempt s.Otherwise, thecatalytic convertercould be
damaged bythe non- combusted fuel.
If the indicator/warnin glamps donot light upatlow temperatures, itis very likely thatthedis-

R Do not start theengine ifthe battery isfrozen .Let the battery thawfirst.
R Only jump-st artfrom batteries witha12 Vvoltage rating.
R Only usejumper cableswhichhaveasufficient cross-sectionandinsulated terminalclamps.
