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.
Preparations For Jump Start
The battery in your vehicle is located in the
front of the engine compartment, behind the
left headlight assembly.
NOTE:
The positive battery post is covered with a
protective cap. Lift up on the cap to gain
access to the positive battery post.
WARNING!
• Take care to avoid the radiator cooling
fan whenever the hood is raised. It can
start anytime the ignition switch is ON.
WARNING!
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.
Proceed as follows:
1. Apply the Electric Park Brake, shift the
automatic transmission into PARK
(manual transmission in NEUTRAL) and
place the ignition OFF.
2. Turn off the heater, radio, and all unnec-
essary electrical accessories.
3. If using another vehicle to jump start the
battery, park the vehicle within the
jumper cables reach, set the parking
brake and make sure the ignition is OFF.
