Jump Starting
1. Locate the HEV fusible link box located behind the engine air
cleaner.
2. Push the tab (A) in and lift up to remove the lid and expose the
remote positive (+) battery terminal (B).
DANGER:
The engine may start at any time without warning when the ignition is on and the Hybrid System is
in the READY mode. When jump starting keep your hands, clothing, hair and tools away from
fans, belts and any other parts that can move to avoid personal injury.
If done incorrectly, jump starting can lead to a battery explosion, resulting in severe injury or death.
It could also damage the 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.
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.
The vehicle has an automatic engine cooling fan. It could come on at any time. Keep hands and
other objects away from it.
Always follow the instructions below. Failure to do so could result in damage to the charging
system and cause personal injury.
