JUMP-STARTING
If your vehicle has a discharged battery it
can be jump-started using a set of jumper
cables and a battery in another vehicle or by
using a portable battery booster pack.
Jump-starting can be dangerous if done
improperly so please follow the procedures
in this section carefully.
NOTE:
When using a portable battery booster pack
follow the manufacturer's operating instruc-
tions and precautions.
Preparations For Jump-Start
The battery in your vehicle is located between the left front headlight assembly and the
left front wheel splash shield. To allow jump-starting there are remote battery posts
located on the left side of the engine compartment.
