JUMP STARTING THE VEHICLE
WARNING: Batteries normally
produce explosive gases which can
cause personal injury. Therefore, do not
allow flames, sparks or lighted
substances to come near the battery.
When working near the battery, always
shield your face and protect your eyes.
Always provide correct ventilation. WARNING:
Keep batteries out of
reach of children. Batteries contain
sulfuric acid. Avoid contact with skin,
eyes or clothing. Shield your eyes when
working near the battery to protect
against possible splashing of acid
solution. In case of acid contact with skin
or eyes, flush immediately with water for
a minimum of 15 minutes and get prompt
medical attention. If acid is swallowed,
call a physician immediately. WARNING:
Use only adequately
sized cables with insulated clamps.
Note: Do not attempt to push-start your
automatic transmission vehicle. Attempting
to push-start a vehicle with an automatic
transmission may cause transmission
damage.
Note: Do not disconnect the battery of the
disabled vehicle as this could damage the
vehicle electrical system.
Preparing Your Vehicle
Note: Use only a 12-volt supply to start your
vehicle.
Park the booster vehicle close to the hood
of the disabled vehicle, making sure the
two vehicles do not touch. Removing the Battery Shield
The battery is on the passenger side
underneath the battery shield.
1. Rotate and release three fasteners by
hand from the battery shield.
2. Remove the battery shield from the vehicle.
Connecting the Jumper Cables WARNING: Do not connect the end
of the second cable to the negative (-)
terminal of the battery to be jumped. A
spark may cause an explosion of the
gases that surround the battery. WARNING:
Do not use fuel lines,
engine valve covers, windshield wiper
arms, the intake manifold, or hood latch
as ground points.
Note: If you are using a jump pack or
booster box, follow that manufacturer's
instructions.
Note: In the illustration, the vehicle shown
is being jumped.
