1. Reduce your speed gradually, keeping
a straight line. Move cautiously off the
road to a safe place.
7. Carefully dispose of the battery cover
cloths—they may now contain sulfuric
acid.
2. Turn on your emergency flashers.
3. Try starting the engine again.
8. If removed, replace all the battery vent
plugs.
If the engine will not start, see ”If your
vehicle will not start”.
If the cause of your battery discharging is
not apparent (for example, lights left on),
you should have it checked.
CAUTION
If the engine is not running, the pow-
er assist for the brakes and steering
will not work so steering and braking
will be much harder than usual.
Do not connect the cable to or near
any part that moves when the engine
is cranked.
CAUTION
When making the connections, to
avoid serious injury, do not lean over
the battery or accidentally let the
jumper cables or clamps touch any-
thing except the correct battery termi-
nals or the ground.
5. Start your engine in the normal way.
After starting, run it at about 2000 rpm
for several minutes with the accelerator
pedal lightly depressed.
