WARNING!

•

When temperatures are below the freezing point, electrolyte in a discharged battery may
freeze. Do not attempt jump-starting because the battery could rupture or explode and
cause personal injury. Battery temperature must be brought above the freezing point
before attempting a jump-start.

•

Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan whenever the hood is raised. It can start anytime
the ignition switch is on. You can be injured by moving fan blades.

•

Remove any metal jewelry, such as watch bands or bracelets, that might make an
inadvertent electrical contact. You could be severely injured.

•

Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can burn your skin or eyes and generate hydrogen gas
which is flammable and explosive. Keep open flames or sparks away from the battery.

•

Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a ground connection and
personal injury could result.

•

Failure to follow this procedure could result in personal injury or property damage due to
battery explosion.

•

Do not connect the cable to the negative post (-) of the discharged battery. The resulting
electrical spark could cause the battery to explode and could result in personal injury.
