Connecting The Jumper Cables
1. Connect the positive (+) end of the jumper cable
to the remote positive (+) post of the vehicle with
the discharged battery.
2. Connect the opposite end of the positive (+)
jumper cable to the positive (+) post of the
booster battery.
3. Connect the negative (-) end of the jumper
cable to the negative (-) post of the booster
battery.
4. Connect the opposite end of the negative (-)
jumper cable to the remote negative post near
the windshield cowl (exposed metal post of the
discharged vehicle).
WARNING!
Do not connect the jumper cable to the negative
(-) post of the discharged battery. The resulting
electrical spark could cause the battery to ex-
plode and could result in personal injury. Only
use the specific ground point, do not use any
other exposed metal parts.
5. Start the vehicle that has the booster battery, let
the vehicle run a few minutes, and then cycle the
ignition to ON/RUN in the vehicle with the
discharged battery.
6. Once the ignition is cycled to ON/RUN, select
the gear that is needed for moving the vehicle. In
most instances of an emergency, this would be
neutral. Once the proper gear is selected, re-
move the jumper cables in the reverse sequence:
Disconnecting The Jumper Cables
1. Disconnect the negative (-) end of the jumper
cable from remote negative post of the vehicle
with the discharged battery.
2. Disconnect the opposite end of the negative (-)
jumper cable from the negative (-) post of the
booster battery.
3. Disconnect the positive (+) end of the jumper
cable from the positive (+) post of the booster
battery.
4. Disconnect the opposite end of the positive (+)
jumper cable from the remote positive (+) post
of the vehicle with the discharged battery.
If frequent jump starting is required to start your
vehicle, you should have the battery and charging
system inspected at an authorized dealer.
CAUTION!
Accessories plugged into the vehicle power out-
lets draw power from the vehicle’s battery, even
when not in use (i.e., cellular devices, etc.). Even-
tually, if plugged in long enough without engine
operation, the vehicle’s battery will discharge
sufficiently to degrade battery life and/or pre-
vent the engine from starting.
REFUELING IN
EMERGENCY
The funnel for the Cap-Less Fuel System is located
with the spare tire (if equipped) or in the upper
storage bin. If your vehicle is out of fuel and an
auxiliary fuel can is needed, insert the funnel into
the filler neck and proceed to fill the vehicle.
For more information on the Cap-Less Fuel System
refer to “Refueling The Vehicle” in “Starting And
Operating” in this manual.
