JUMP-STARTING PROCEDURE

The battery is stored between the left front headlight
assembly and the left front wheel splash shield. Access is
through the splash shield.

Jump-starting remote battery terminals are located under
the hood.

WARNING!

ever the hood is raised. It can start anytime the
ignition switch is on. You can be hurt by the fan.

WARNING! (Continued)

Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get

it started. Vehicles equipped with an automatic
transaxle cannot be started this way. Unburned
fuel could enter the catalytic converter and once
the engine has started, ignite and damage the
converter and vehicle. If the vehicle has a dis-
charged battery, booster cables may be used to
obtain a start from another vehicle. This type of
start can be dangerous if done improperly, so
follow this procedure carefully.

Do not use a booster battery or any other booster

source with an output that exceeds 12-Volts.

1. Wear eye protection and remove any metal jewelry
such as watchbands or bracelets that might make an
inadvertent electrical contact.
