In Case of Emergency

6. Start the engine of the vehicle

that has the discharged battery.

7. Remove the battery cables by

reversing the above sequence
exactly. Start by removing the
last clamp first; that is,
remove the jumper cable from
the engine of the vehicle with
the discharged battery as the
first step.

If you have a flat tire while
driving, stop in a safe place to
change it. Stopping in traffic or on
the shoulder of a busy road is
dangerous. Drive slowly along the
shoulder until you get to an exit or
an area to stop that is far away
from the traffic lanes.

The vehicle can easily roll off
the jack, seriously injuring
anyone underneath.

Follow the directions for
changing a tire exactly, and
never get under the vehicle
when it is supported only by
the jack.

1. Park on a level surface and set

the parking brake firmly. Turn
on the hazard warning flasher,
and turn the ignition switch to

LOCK

.

2. Set the automatic transmission

in “Park” (the manual
transmission in “Reverse”)
and transfer case in gear if it
is a four-wheel drive vehicle.

3. Have your passengers get out

of the vehicle.

4. Remove the jacking tools (see

page

188

) and spare tire from

their stowage areas.
