JUMP STARTING

To start your engine with a booster battery,

the instructions and precautions below

must be followed.

∙ Whenever working on or near a bat-

tery, always wear suitable eye protec-

tors (for example, goggles or indus-

trial safety spectacles) and remove

rings, metal bands, or any other jew-

elry. Do not lean over the battery

when jump starting.

WARNING

∙ If done incorrectly, jump starting can

lead to a battery explosion, resulting

in severe injury or death. It could also

damage your vehicle.

∙ Do not attempt to jump start a frozen

battery. It could explode and cause

serious injury.

∙ Explosive hydrogen gas is always

present in the vicinity of the battery.

Keep all sparks and flames away from

the battery.

∙ Your vehicle has an automatic engine

cooling fan. It could come on at any

time. Keep hands and other objects

away from it.

∙ Do not allow battery fluid to come into

contact with eyes, skin, clothing or

painted surfaces. Battery fluid is a

corrosive sulfuric acid solution which

can cause severe burns. If the fluid

should come into contact with any-

thing, immediately flush the con-

tacted area with water.

∙ Keep battery out of the reach of

children.

∙ The booster battery must be rated at

12 volts. Use of an improperly rated

battery can damage your vehicle.

CAUTION

∙ Always connect positive (ϩ) to posi-

tive (ϩ) and negative (Ϫ) to body

ground (for example, strut mounting

bolt, engine lift bracket, etc.) — not to

the battery.

∙

Make sure the jumper cables do not

touch moving parts in the engine com-

partment and that the cable clamps do

not contact any other metal.

4. Start the engine of the booster vehicle

and let it run for a few minutes.

5. Keep the engine speed of the booster

vehicle at about 2,000 rpm, and start

the engine of the vehicle being jump

started.

2. Apply the parking brake. Move the shift

lever to N (Neutral) (manual transmis-

sion) or to P (Park) (automatic trans-

mission). Switch off all unnecessary

electrical systems (lights, heater, air

conditioner, etc.).

WARNING

Always follow the instructions below.

Failure to do so could result in damage

to the charging system and cause per-

sonal injury.

CAUTION

Do not keep the starter motor engaged

for more than 15 seconds. If the engine

does not start, place the ignition switch

in the OFF position and wait 10 seconds

before trying again, otherwise the

starter could be damaged.

1. If the booster battery is in another ve-

hicle, position the two vehicles to bring

their batteries near each other.

or if you feel a lack of engine power, detect

abnormal noise, etc. take the following

steps.

∙ Automatic Transmission (AT) models

and Manual Transmission (MT) cannot

be push-started or tow-started. At-

tempting to do so may cause trans-

mission damage.

3. Get out of the vehicle. Look and listen

for steam or coolant escaping from the

radiator before opening the hood. (If

steam or coolant is escaping, turn off

the engine.) Do not open the hood fur-

ther until no steam or coolant can be

seen.

WARNING

∙ Do not continue to drive if your vehicle

overheats. Doing so could cause en-

gine damage or a vehicle fire.

∙ For Manual Transmission (MT) mod-

els, never try to start the vehicle by

towing it. When the engine starts, the

forward surge could cause the vehicle

to collide with the tow vehicle.

∙ To avoid the danger of being scalded,

never remove the radiator cap while

the engine is still hot. When the radia-

tor cap is removed, pressurized hot

water will spurt out, possibly causing

serious injury.

4. Open the engine hood.

WARNING

If steam or water is coming from the

engine, stand clear to prevent getting

burned.

∙ Do not open the hood if steam is com-

ing out.

1. Move the vehicle safely off the road, ap-

ply the parking brake and move the

shift lever to N (Neutral) (manual trans-

mission) or to P (Park) (automatic trans-

mission).

5. Visually check drive belts for damage

or looseness. Also check if the cooling

fan is running. The radiator hoses and

radiator should not leak water. If cool-

ant is leaking, the water pump belt is

missing or loose, or the cooling fan

does not run, stop the engine.

Do not stop the engine.
