See below steps to prepare for jump starting:
1. Apply the parking brake, shift the automatic
transmission into PARK (P) (manual
transmission in NEUTRAL) and place the
ignition in OFF mode.
2. Turn off the heater, radio, and all electrical
accessories.
3. If using another vehicle to jump start the
battery, park the vehicle within the jumper
cable’s reach, apply the parking brake and
make sure the ignition is OFF.
Battery posts, terminals, and related accesso-
ries contain lead and lead compounds. Wash
hands after handling.
If a “fast charger” is used while the battery is
in the vehicle, disconnect both vehicle battery

WARNING!
WARNING!
Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan
whenever the hood is raised. It can start
anytime the ignition switch is ON. You can be
injured by moving fan blades.
Remove any metal jewelry such as rings,
watch bands and bracelets that could make
an inadvertent electrical contact. You could be
seriously injured.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can burn
your skin or eyes and generate hydrogen gas
which is flammable and explosive. Keep open
flames or sparks away from the battery.
WARNING!
Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this
could establish a ground connection and
personal injury could result.
