JUMP-STARTING THE VEHICLE
WARNINGS
Connect batteries with only the same
nominal voltage. Failure to follow
this warning could result in serious
personal injury.
Always use booster cables with
insulated clamps and adequate size
cable. Failure to follow this warning
could result in serious personal injury.
Note:
This procedure is only for the 12 volt
under hood battery.
Note:
Your vehicle has a 12 volt battery that
is easily accessible under the hood. The 12
volt battery controls the switches and
contacts that engage the high voltage
battery. Do not jump start the high voltage
battery using a standard 12 volt battery. You
must tow your vehicle to an authorized
dealer if the high voltage battery does not
accept a regular charge.
Note:
Do not attempt to push start your
vehicle. You may cause transmission
damage.
