CAUTION

WARNING

The Plug-in Hybrid EV system cannot be

started by pulling or pushing the vehicle.

Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-

volt battery. If the other system isn’t 12-volt,

shorting can damage both vehicles.

Use the proper cables suitable for the battery

size to prevent overheating of the cables.

Check the jumper cables for damage and

corrosion before use.

If you are unable to safely assess the vehi-

cle due to vehicle damage, do not touch

the vehicle. Leave the vehicle and contact

emergency services. Advise emergency

responders that this is a Plug-in Hybrid

Emergency starting

If the ready indicator goes out

while driving

Always wear protective eye goggles when

working near the battery.

Keep the battery out of the reach of children.

If the Plug-in Hybrid EV system cannot be

started because the auxiliary battery is weak

or dead, the battery from another vehicle can

be used with jumper cables to start the Plug-

in Hybrid EV system.

Vehicle operation and control are affected if

the ready indicator goes out while driving.

Before moving the vehicle to a safe area, be

aware of the following:

Do not attempt jump starting the auxiliary

battery while the drive battery is being

charged. Doing so could damage the charg-

ing equipment or the vehicle.

The brake booster may becomes inoper-

ative and the pedal effort will increase.

Press down the brake pedal harder than

usual.
