Perform the following procedure to start your engine
by connecting your battery to the well charged bat-
tery of another vehicle with booster cables.
When the battery has run down
WARNING
•
Check the battery’s fluid level before con-
necting booster cables. If the fluid is below
the “LOWER” level line, add battery fluid
or distilled water. If the battery was
charged with an excessively low fluid
level, it would deteriorate rapidly and
could overheat or explode.
•
Be careful not to connect the booster
cables in the wrong sequence. Sparks are
often produced when you connect the
booster cable to the vehicle’s frame.
Therefore, if the cable is connected to a
section of the frame near the battery, the
spark could set off the hydrogen given off
by the battery to cause an explosion. Be
sure to connect the cable end to a point as
far away as possible from the battery.
Also, keep cigarettes and open flames well
away from the battery.
•
Never start the engine by towing or push-
ing the vehicle. Doing so is dangerous
because the brakes work poorly and the
steering wheel becomes abnormally hard
to turn.
