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

which can cause severe burns. If
the fluid should come into contact
with anything, immediately flush the
contacted area with water.

.

Keep the 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 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.
