The lead-acid battery might be depleted
if the following conditions occur.
The EV system does not start.The selector lever cannot be shifted to a position other than P.The horn sound is weak or it does not sound.The brightness of the lights is extremely low.
Jump-starting is dangerous if done incorrectly. So follow the procedure carefully. If
you feel unsure about jump-starting, we strongly recommend that you have a
competent service technician do the work.
Using commercially available booster cables, connect the lead-acid battery of the
booster vehicle’s battery to the lead-acid battery of your vehicle and start the EV
system.
WARNING
Follow These Precautions Carefully:
To ensure safe and correct handling of the lead-acid battery, read the following
precautions carefully before using the lead-acid battery or inspecting it.
Keep flames and sparks away from open lead-acid battery cells and do not
allow metal tools to contact the positive (+) or negative (–) terminal of the
lead-acid battery when working near a lead-acid battery. Do not allow the
positive (+) terminal to contact the vehicle body:
Flames and sparks near open lead-acid battery cells are dangerous. Hydrogen gas,
produced during normal lead-acid battery operation, could ignite and cause the
lead-acid battery to explode. An exploding lead-acid battery can cause serious burns
and injuries. Keep all flames including cigarettes and sparks away from open
lead-acid battery cells.
