To start your engine with a booster battery, the

instructions and precautions below must be fol-

lowed.

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 cor-

rosive sulfuric acid solution which can

cause severe burns. If the fluid should

come into contact with anything, imme-

diately flush the contacted area with

water.

Keep battery out of the reach of

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 se-

rious injury.

Your vehicle has an automatic engine

cooling fan. It could come on at any

time. Keep hands and other objects

away from it.
