WARNING!
• 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.
1. Set the parking brake, shift the automatic
transmission into PARK (manual trans-
mission to NEUTRAL) and turn the igni-
tion to LOCK.
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.
WARNING!
Do not allow vehicles to touch each other
as this could establish a ground connec-
tion and personal injury could result.
Jump-Starting Procedure
WARNING!
Failure to follow this jump-starting proce-
dure could result in personal injury or
property damage due to battery explosion.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these procedures could

hicle.
