Although this seems like a simple
procedure, you should take several
precautions.
Open the hood, and check the
physical condition of the battery.
In very cold weather, check the
condition of the electrolyte. If it
seems slushy or frozen, do not try
jump starting until it thaws.
To jump start your vehicle:
You cannot start your vehicle by
pushing or pulling it.
The numbers in the illustration show
the order to connect the jumper
cable.
Put the transmission in Neutral or
Park, and set the parking brake.
Turn off all the electrical acces-
sories: heater, A/C, climate
control, stereo system, lights, etc.
