WARNING

쐌 Always make sure that the spare tire

and jacking equipment are properly

secured after use. Such items can

become dangerous projectiles in an

accident or sudden stop.

쐌 The spare tire is designed for emer-

gency use. See specific instructions

under the heading “Wheels and tires”

in the “8. Maintenance and do-it-

To start your engine with a booster battery, the

instructions and precautions below must be

followed.

WARNING

쐌 If done incorrectly, jump starting can

lead to a battery explosion, resulting

in severe injury or death. It could also

damage your vehicle.

쐌 Explosive hydrogen gas is always

present in the vicinity of the battery.

Keep all sparks and flames away

from the battery.

쐌 Do not allow battery fluid to come

into contact with eyes, skin, cloth or

painted surfaces. Battery fluid is a

corrosive sulphuric acid solution

which can cause severe burns. If the

fluid should come into contact with

anything, immediately flush the con-

tacted area with water.

쐌 Keep battery out of the reach of

children.

쐌 The booster battery must be rated at

12 volts. Use of an improperly rated

battery can damage your vehicle.

쐌 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.

쐌 Do not attempt to jump start a frozen

battery. It could explode and cause

serious injury.

쐌 Your vehicle has an automatic en-

gine cooling fan. It could come on at

any time. Keep hands and other ob-

jects away from it.

WARNING

Always follow the instructions below.

Failure to do so could result in damage

to the charging system and cause per-

sonal injury.

1. If the booster battery is in another vehicle,

position the two vehicles to bring their bat-

teries into close proximity to each other.

Do not allow the two vehicles to touch.

2. Apply parking brake. Move the shift lever to

the N (Neutral) position (On automatic trans-

mission models, move the selector lever to

the P (Park) position). Switch off all unnec-

essary electrical systems (light, heater, air

conditioner, etc.).

3. Remove vent caps on the battery (if so

equipped). Cover the battery with an old

cloth as illustrated to reduce explosion haz-

ard.

4. Connect jumper cables in the sequence as

illustrated.

CAUTION

쐌 Always connect positive (+) to posi-

tive (+) and negative (−) to body

ground not to the battery.

쐌 Make sure that cables do not touch

moving parts in the engine compart-

ment and that clamps do not contact

any other metal.

5. Start the engine of the other vehicle and let it

run for a few minutes.

6. Keep the engine speed of the other vehicle at

about 2,000 rpm, and start your engine in the

normal manner.
