342 IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
On 3500 models with Dual Rear Wheels (DRW),
you must first remove the hub caps—use the
procedure noted for the single rear wheel. For the
wheel covers (wheel skins), insert the flat end of
the lug wrench between the outer edge of the
wheel cover and the wheel. Pry against the wheel
to remove the wheel cover. Repeat this procedure
around the wheel until the cover pops off.
Lug Wrench Insertion Location — Wheel Cover
Replace the wheel covers using a rubber mallet to
ease the installation. Align the wheel cover vent
holes to the wheel vent holes. Tap on the wheel
cover as needed to firmly seat it evenly around the
wheel.
JUMP STARTING
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
th
e manufacturer's operating instructions and
precautions.
PREPARATIONS FOR JUMP START
The battery in your vehicle is located in the front of
the engine compartment, behind the driver side
headlight assembly.
If you have a diesel engine, you may have two
ba
tteries, jump start off the driver side battery.
Battery Location
The positive battery post may be covered with a
pr
otective cap if equipped. Lift up on the cap to
gain access to the positive battery post. Do not
jump off fuses. Only jump directly off positive post
which has a positive
(+) symbol on or around the
post.
CAUTION!
Use a pulling motion to remove the hub cap.
Do not use a twisting motion when removing
the hub cap, damage to the hub cap; finish
may occur.
The rear hub caps on the dual rear wheel has
two pull off notches. Make sure that the hook
of the jack handle driver is located squarely in
the cap notch before attempting to pull off.
WARNING!
Do not attempt jump starting if the battery is
frozen. It could rupture or explode and cause
personal injury.
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.
