To  carry  out  the  operation,  you  need  to  have
the correct cables to connect to the battery of
another  vehicle  or  a  portable  battery  booster
pack  to  the  remote  posts  of  the  discharged
battery.  Usually,  these  cables  have  terminals
at  the  ends  and  are  identified  by  different
sheath  colors  (red  =  positive,  black  =  nega -
tive).
 WARNING!
Do  not  attempt  jump  starting  if  the  battery
is  frozen.  It  could  rupture  or  explode  and
cause personal injury.
 CAUTION!
Do not use a portable battery  booster pack
or  any  other  booster  source  with  a  system
voltage greater than 12 Volts or damage to
the  battery,  starter  motor,  alternator  or
electrical system may occur.
 WARNING!
Do  not  connect  the  jumper  cable  to  the
negative  (-)  post  of  the  discharged  battery.
The  resulting  electrical  spark  could  cause
the  battery  to  explode  and  could  result  in
serious  injury. Only  use  the  specific ground
point,  do  not  use  any  other  exposed  metal
parts.
