To start your engine with a booster
battery, the instructions and precautions
below must be followed.
WARNING
.If done incorrectly, jump starting
can lead to a battery explosion,
resulting in severe injury or
death. It could also damage your
vehicle.
. Explosive hydrogen gas is always
present in the vicinity of the
battery. Keep all sparks and
flames away from the battery.
. Do not allow battery fluid to come
into contact with eyes, skin,
clothing or painted surfaces. Bat-
tery fluid is a corrosive sulphuric
acid solution which can cause
severe burns. If the fluid should
come into contact with anything,
immediately flush the contacted
area with water.
. Keep the battery out of the reach
of children.
. The booster battery must be
rated at 12 volts. Use of an im-
properly rated battery can da-
mage your vehicle. .
Whenever working on or near a
battery, always wear suitable eye
protectors (for example, goggles
or industrial safety spectacles)
and remove rings, metal bands,
or any other jewelry. Do not lean
over the battery when jump start-
ing.
. Do not attempt to jump start a
frozen battery. It could explode
and cause serious injury.
. Your vehicle has an automatic
engine cooling fan. It could come
on at any time. Keep hands and
other objects away from it.

WARNING
Always follow the instructions below.
Failure to do so could result in
damage to the charging system and
cause personal injury.
1. If the booster battery is in another vehicle
, position the two vehicles (and) to bring their batteries into
close proximity to each other.
Do not allow the two vehicles to
touch. 2. Apply parking brake. Move the shift
lever to the P (Park) position (Auto-
matic transmission models). Move the
shift lever to the N (Neutral) position
(Manual transmission models). Switch
off all unnecessary electrical systems
(light, heater, air conditioner, etc.).
3. Remove vent caps on the battery (if so equipped). Cover the battery with a
firmly wrung out moist cloth
to
reduce explosion hazard.
4. Connect jumper cables in the se- quence as illustrated (
???).
CAUTION
.Always connect positive (+) to
positive (+) and negative (−) to
body ground (as illustrated) —
not to the battery.
. Make sure the jumper cables do
not touch moving parts in the
engine compartment and that
clamps do not contact any other
metal.
5. Start the engine of the booster vehicle
and let it run for a few minutes.
6. Keep the engine speed of the booster vehicle
at about 2,000 rpm, and
start the engine of the vehicle being
jump started
.
CAUTION
Do not keep the starter motor en-
gaged for more than 10 seconds. If
the engine does not start right away,
push the ignition switch to the OFF
position and wait 10 seconds before
trying again.

2. Add distilled water up to the UPPERLEVELline.
If the side of the battery is not clear,
check the distilled water level by
looking directly above the cell; the
condition
indicates OK and the
conditionsneeds more to be added.
3. Tighten cell plugs
.
Vehicles operated in high temperatures
or under severe conditions require fre-
quent checks of the battery fluid level.
JUMP STARTING
If jump starting is necessary, see “Jump
starting” (P.6-15). If the engine does not
start by jump starting, the battery may
have to be replaced. It is recommended
you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.CAUTION
. Do not ground accessories di-
rectly to the battery terminal.
Doing so will bypass the variable
voltage control system and the
vehicle battery may not charge
completely.
. Use electrical accessories with
the engine running to avoid dis-
charging the vehicle battery.
The variable voltage control system mea-
sures the amount of electrical discharge
from the battery and controls voltage
generated by the generator.
