Vehicle Care

Notice: If any accessories are left
on or plugged in during the jump
starting procedure, they could be
damaged. The repairs would not
be covered by the vehicle
warranty. Whenever possible,
turn off or unplug all accessories
on either vehicle when jump
starting the vehicle.

4. Turn the ignition to LOCK/OFF

and switch off all lights and
accessories in both vehicles,
except the hazard warning
flashers if needed.

{

WARNING

An electric fan can start up even
when the engine is not running
and can injure you. Keep hands,
clothing and tools away from any
underhood electric fan.

{

WARNING

Using a match near a battery can
cause battery gas to explode.
People have been hurt doing this,
and some have been blinded.
Use a flashlight if you need more
light.

Be sure the battery has enough
water. You do not need to add
water to the battery installed in
your new vehicle. But if a battery
has filler caps, be sure the right
amount of fluid is there. If it is low,
add water to take care of that
first. If you do not, explosive gas
could be present.

Battery fluid contains acid that
can burn you. Do not get it on
you. If you accidentally get it in
your eyes or on your skin, flush
the place with water and get
medical help immediately.

{

WARNING

Fans or other moving engine
parts can injure you badly. Keep
your hands away from moving
parts once the engine is running.

5. Connect one end of the red

positive (+) cable to the jump
start positive (+) post (A).

6. Connect the other end of the red

positive (+) cable to the
positive (+) terminal of the good
battery (B).
