WARNING
• Never let passengers ride in a ve-
hicle that is being towed.
• Never tow a vehicle faster than
safe or posted speeds.
• Never tow a vehicle with dam-
aged parts that are not fully se-
cured on the vehicle.
Failure to observe these precautions
can result in personal injury.
TOWING THE VEHICLE
If it is necessary to tow your vehicle,
contact a authorized repairer or a pro-
fessional tow truck service.
Once the previously discharged vehicle
is running:
1. Carefully disconnect the ground con-
nection (-). Begin with the vehicle
with the discharged battery. Leave the
discharged vehicle running.
2. Disconnect the negative lead from ve-
hicle providing the jump.
3. Disconnect the “+” lead from both
batteries. Store the jumper cables
with the spare tire.
4. Operate the discharged vehicle for
approximately 20 minutes. This will
allow the charging system to re-
charge your battery.
5. If this discharge condition recurs,
consult your authorized repairer.
NOTE
Attempts to start the engine of the ve-
hicle with the discharged battery
should be made at intervals of about
one minute and should not last longer
than 15 seconds each.
4. Make the last connection to a suit-
able ground, such as a steel bracket
bolted to the engine block.
5. The engine of the vehicle providing
the jump start can be allowed to run
during the jump start.
