Vehicle Care

Jump Starting

If the battery has run down, try to
use another vehicle and some
jumper cables to start your vehicle.
Be sure to use the following steps to
do it safely.

{

WARNING

Batteries can hurt you. They can
be dangerous because:

.

They contain acid that can
burn you.

.

They contain gas that can
explode or ignite.

.

They contain enough
electricity to burn you.

If you do not follow these steps
exactly, some or all of these
things can hurt you.

Notice: Ignoring these steps
could result in costly damage to
the vehicle that would not be
covered by the warranty.

Trying to start the vehicle by
pushing or pulling it will not
work, and it could damage the
vehicle.

The jump start negative (A) is the
power steering line fitting and bolt
on the top of the power
steering pump.

a direct connection to the battery.

1. Check the other vehicle. It must

have a 12-volt battery with a
negative ground system.

Notice: If the other vehicle's
system is not a 12-volt system
with a negative ground, both
vehicles can be damaged. Only
use vehicles with 12-volt systems
with negative grounds to jump
start your vehicle.
