JUMP-STARTING PROCEDURES

If your vehicle has a discharged battery it can be jump-

started using a set of jumper cables and a battery in

another vehicle or by using a portable battery booster

pack. Jump-starting can be dangerous if done improperly

so please follow the procedures in this section carefully.
NOTE:

When using a portable battery booster pack

follow the manufacturer’s operating instructions and

precautions.

CAUTION!

Do not use a portable battery booster pack or any
other booster source with a system voltage greater
than 12 Volts or damage to the battery, starter motor,
alternator or electrical system may occur.

WARNING!

Do not attempt jump-starting if the battery is frozen.
It could rupture or explode and cause personal injury.

Preparations For Jump-Start

The battery in your vehicle is located in the front of the

engine compartment, behind the left headlight assembly.
NOTE:

The positive battery post is covered with a

protective cap. Lift up on the cap to gain access to the

positive battery post. Do not jump off fuses. Only jump

directly off positive post.
