WARNING!

• When temperatures are below the freezing point, electrolyte in a discharged

battery may freeze. Do not attempt jump-starting because the battery could
rupture or explode and cause personal injury. Battery temperature must be
brought above the freezing point before attempting a jump-start.

• Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan whenever the hood is raised. It can start

anytime the ignition switch is on. You can be injured by moving fan blades.

• Remove any metal jewelry, such as watch bands or bracelets, that might make

an inadvertent electrical contact. You could be severely injured.

• Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can burn your skin or eyes and generate

hydrogen gas which is flammable and explosive. Keep open flames or sparks
away from the battery.

• Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a ground

connection and personal injury could result.

• Failure to follow this procedure could result in personal injury or property

damage due to battery explosion.

• Do not connect the cable to the negative post (-) of the discharged battery. The

resulting electrical spark could cause the battery to explode and could result in
personal injury.
