Never allow the jumper cable attached to the positive battery terminal to contact metal parts of
the vehicle.
Check the battery acid level indicator window on the vehicle battery. Use a flashlight, never a
match, cigarette lighter, or other open flame. If you cannot see the color of the window clearly,
or if it is light yellow or colorless, do not jump-start the vehicle. Get expert assistance.
Avoid electrostatic discharge in the vicinity of the vehicle battery. Sparks may cause the hydro‐
gen gas escaping from the vehicle battery to ignite.
Never jump-start a vehicle with a battery that is damaged or frozen or that was frozen and has
thawed. The battery can explode. Replace the battery instead.
Always follow the instructions of the jumper cable manufacturer.
Always make sure that the battery providing starting assistance has the same voltage as the
dead battery (12V) and about the same capacity (see battery label).
Batteries give off explosive hydrogen gas. Always keep fire, sparks, open flame and smoking
materials away from batteries.
Never connect the negative cable from the other vehicle directly to the negative battery termi‐
nal on the dead battery. The hydrogen gas from the battery is explosive.
Never short out the battery terminals by connecting the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals
with each other.
