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.
