Working on the batteries or the electrical system in your vehicle can cause serious acid burns,
fires, or electrical shock.
Always keep children away from battery acid and vehicle batteries in general.
Sulfuric battery acid is very corrosive and can cause blindness and damage to unprotected
skin. Never let battery acid or lead particles contact your eyes, skin, and clothing.
Never lean over a vehicle battery. Always wear protective gloves and eye protection. To re‐
duce your risk of injury, never tilt the batteries; acid could spill out through the vents and burn
you.
A highly explosive mixture of gases is given off when the battery is being charged.
Always avoid fires, sparks, open flame, and smoking. Never create sparks or electrostatic
charges when handling cables and electrical equipment. Never short-circuit the battery termi‐
nals. High-energy sparks can cause serious personal injury.
If you get battery acid in your eyes or on your skin, immediately rinse with cold water for sev‐
eral minutes and get medical attention immediately. If you swallow any battery acid, get medi‐
cal attention immediately.
WARNING
Improper use of jumper cables when jump-starting a vehicle with a dead battery can cause the
battery to explode, leading to serious personal injury. To help reduce the risk of battery explosion:
All work on the batteries or the electrical system in your vehicle can cause serious acid burns,
fires, or electrical shocks. Always read and heed the following WARNINGS and safety precau‐
tions before working on the batteries or the electrical system ⇒Vehicle battery .
Always make sure that the battery providing starting assistance (the booster battery) has the
same voltage as the dead battery (12V) and about the same amperage capacity (see battery
label).
Never jump-start a vehicle with a thawed or frozen vehicle battery. The battery can explode. A
dead battery can freeze at temperatures around +32°F (0°C).
A battery that is frozen or was frozen, but has since thawed, must be replaced.
When the vehicle battery is jump-started, it gives off hydrogen gas, which is highly explosive!
Always keep fire, sparks, open flame, and smoking materials far away from vehicle batteries.
Never use a mobile telephone while connecting or disconnecting jumper cables.
