Chrysler 2009 Aspen Hybrid - Manual (Page 80)

This message indicates that the vehicle is in “Charge
Assist” mode, and can be charged by following the
“Charge Assist” procedure.
NOTE:
• Depending on the high voltage battery’s state of
charge, it may take up to 60 minutes for the system to
become adequately charged to start the engine.
• There are remote battery posts located under the hood
that are used to assist in the “Charge Assist” proce-
dure.
• A second running vehicle may be used in this “Charge
Assist” procedure provided the generator output is a
minimum of 125 amps.
WARNING!
• A battery generates hydrogen gas which is flam-
mable and explosive. Keep flame or spark away
from the vent holes. DO NOT use a booster battery
or any other booster source with a nominal voltage
output that exceeds 12-Volts.
• Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution; do not
allow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin or cloth-
ing. If acid splashes in eyes or on skin, flush the
contaminated area immediately with large quanti-
ties of water.
NOTE:
• A 12-Volt battery charger with a minimum 30 Amp
rating is the only type recommended to use when
charging the high voltage battery. There are many types
of these units available. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions for necessary precautions and operation.
