Jump starting can be dangerous if

done incorrectly. Follow the jump

starting procedure in this section to

avoid serious injury or damage to

your vehicle. If in doubt about how to

properly jump start your vehicle, we

strongly recommend that you have a

service technician or towing service

do it for you.

(Continued)

Keep batteries out of

reach of children.

(Continued)

• NEVER attempt to recharge the

battery when the vehicle’s bat-

tery cables are connected to the

battery.

Batteries contain sulfuric

acid which is highly corro-

sive. Do not allow acid to

contact your eyes, skin or

clothing.

• The electrical ignition system

works with high voltage. NEVER

touch these components with

the engine running or when the

ignition switch is in the ON posi-

tion.

WARNING

If acid gets into your eyes, flush

your eyes with clean water for at

least 15 minutes and get immedi-

ate medical attention. If acid gets

on your skin, thoroughly wash the

area. If you feel pain or a burning

sensation, get medical attention

immediately.

To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or

DEATH to you or bystanders,

always follow these precautions

when working near or handling the

battery:

• Do not allow the (+) and (-)

jumper cables to touch. It may

cause sparks.

• The battery may rupture or

explode when you jump start

with a low or frozen battery.

ꢇ

Always read and follow

instructions carefully when

handling a battery.

• When lifting a plastic-cased bat-

tery, excessive pressure on the

case may cause battery acid to

leak. Lift with a battery carrier or

with your hands on opposite cor-

ners.

• Never attempt jump start if you

observe cracks, leaks or other

damage on Battery.

Wear

eye

protection

designed to protect the

eyes from acid splashes.

Keep all flames, sparks, or

smoking materials away

from the battery.

• Do not attempt to jump start

your vehicle if your battery is

frozen.

Hydrogen is always pres-

ent in battery cells, is high-

ly combustible, and may

explode if ignited.

the engine compartment at all

times, even when the vehicles are

turned off.

• Loosely connected battery

cables could damage the elec-

• To disconnect battery terminals

wait for at least 2 minutes to

allow discharge of high voltage
