JUMP-STARTING PROCEDURES
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
instructions and precautions.
WARNING!
Do not attempt jump-starting if the battery is frozen. It could rupture or explode
and cause personal injury.
CAUTION!
Do not use a portable battery booster pack or any other booster source with a
system voltage greater than 12 Volts or damage to the battery, starter motor,
alternator or electrical system may occur.
Preparations For Jump-Start
The battery in your vehicle is located in the front of the engine compartment, behind
the left headlight assembly.
NOTE:
The positive battery post may be covered
with a protective cap if equipped. Lift up
on the cap to gain access to the positive
battery post. Do not jump off fuses. Only
jump directly off positive post which has
a positive
(+) symbol on or around the
post.
