JUMP-STARTING PROCEDURES

If your vehicle has a discharged battery it can be jump-started using a set of jumper
cables and a battery in another vehicle or by using a portable battery booster pack.
Jump-starting can be dangerous if done improperly so please follow the procedures
in this section carefully.

NOTE:
When using a portable battery booster pack follow the manufacturer’s operating
instructions and precautions.

CAUTION!

Do not use a portable battery booster pack or any other booster source with a
system voltage greater than 12 Volts or damage to the battery, starter motor,
alternator or electrical system may occur.

WARNING!

Do not attempt jump-starting if the battery is frozen. It could rupture or explode
and cause personal injury.

Preparations For Jump-Start

The battery in your vehicle is located in the front of the engine compartment, behind
the left headlight assembly.
NOTE:

The positive battery post is covered with a protective cap. Lift up on the cap to gain
access to the positive battery post.
