Jump starting
WARNING
D Battery fluid is SULFURIC ACID. Do not let it
come in contact with the eyes, skin, clothing
or the vehicle.
If battery fluid gets on you, thoroughly flush
the exposed area with water immediately. Get
medical help if the fluid has entered your
eyes.
If battery fluid is accidentally swallowed, im-
mediately drink a large amount of milk or wa-
ter, and obtain immediate medical help.
Keep everyone including children away from
the battery.
D The gas generated by a battery explodes if a
flame or spark is brought near it. Do not
smoke or light a match while jump starting.
D Never attempt jump starting if the dis-
charged battery is frozen. It could cause the
battery to burst or explode.
D Whenever working on or around a battery,
always wear suitable eye protectors, and re-
move metal objects such as rings, bands or
other metal jewelry.
D Be sure the jumper cables and clamps on
them do not have loose or missing insulation.
Do not jump start unless cables in suitable
condition are available.
D A running engine can be dangerous. Keep
your fingers, hands, clothing, hair and tools
away from the cooling fan, belts and any other
moving engine parts. Removing rings,
watches and ties is advisable.
When your vehicle does not start due to a run down
(discharged) battery, the vehicle may be jump
started by connecting your battery to another bat-
tery (called the booster battery) with jumper cables.
Jump starting is dangerous if it done incorrectly. If
you are unsure about the proper procedure for jump
starting, consult a competent mechanic.
J How to jump start
1. Make sure the booster battery is 12 volts and the
negative terminal is grounded.
2. If the booster battery is in another vehicle, do not
let the two vehicles touch.
3. Turn off all unnecessary lights and accessories.
4. Connect the jumper cables exactly in the se-
quence illustrated.
