To start your engine with a booster battery, the
instructions and precautions below must be
followed.

WARNING

. If done incorrectly, jump starting

can lead to a battery explosion,
resulting in severe injury or death.
It could also damage your vehicle.

. Explosive hydrogen gas is always

present in the vicinity of the battery.
Keep all sparks and flames away
from the battery.

. Do not allow battery fluid to come

into contact with eyes, skin, clothing
or painted surfaces. Battery fluid is
a corrosive sulfuric acid solution
which can cause severe burns. If
the fluid should come into contact
with anything, immediately flush the
contacted area with water.

children.

. The booster battery must be rated at

12 volts. Use of an improperly rated
battery can damage your vehicle.

. Whenever working on or near a

battery, always wear suitable eye

protectors (for example, goggles or
industrial safety spectacles) and
remove rings, metal bands, or any
other jewelry. Do not lean over the
battery when jump starting.

. Do not attempt to jump start a

frozen battery. It could explode
and cause serious injury.

. Your vehicle has an automatic en-

gine cooling fan. It could come on at
any time. Keep hands and other
objects away from it.
