WARNING!
(Continued)
• Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan whenever the hood is
raised. It can start anytime the ignition switch is on. You can be
injured by moving fan blades.
• Remove any metal jewelry, such as watch bands or bracelets, that
might make an inadvertent electrical contact. You could be severely
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.
• Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a
ground connection and personal injury could result.
• Failure to follow this procedure could result in personal injury or
property damage due to battery explosion.
• Do not connect the cable to the negative post (-) of the discharged
battery. The resulting electrical spark could cause the battery to
explode and could result in personal injury.
EMERGENCY TOW HOOKS
• If your vehicle is equipped with tow hooks, they are mounted in the front
and the rear.
NOTE: For off-road recovery, it is recommended to use both of the front
tow hooks to minimize the risk of damage to the vehicle.
CAUTION!
Tow hooks are for emergency use only, to rescue a vehicle stranded
off-road. Do not use tow hooks for tow truck hookup or highway
towing. You could damage your vehicle. Tow straps are recommended
when towing the vehicle; chains may cause vehicle damage.
WARNING!
• Chains are not recommended for freeing a stuck vehicle. Chains
may break, causing serious injury or death.
• Stand clear of vehicles when pulling with tow hooks. Tow straps
may become disengaged, causing serious injury.
