JUMP-STARTING THE

WARNINGS
The gases around the battery
can explode if exposed to
flames, sparks, or lit cigarettes. An
explosion could result in injury or
vehicle damage.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid
which can burn skin, eyes and
clothing, if contacted.
Do not attempt to push-start your
automatic transmission vehicle.
Automatic transmissions do not have
push-start capability. Attempting to
push-start a vehicle with an
automatic transmission may cause
transmission damage.
Preparing Your Vehicle
Note: Use only a 12-volt supply to start
your vehicle.
Note: Do not disconnect the battery
of the disabled vehicle as this could
damage the vehicle's electrical system.
1. Park the booster vehicle close to
the hood of the disabled vehicle
making sure the two vehicles do
not touch. Set the parking brake
on both vehicles and stay clear of
the engine cooling fan and other
moving parts.
2. Check all battery terminals and
remove any excessive corrosion
before you attach the battery
cables. Ensure that vent caps are
tight and level.
3. Turn the heater fan on in both
vehicles to protect from any
electrical surges. Turn all other
accessories off.
