5-6 In case of emergency
JUMP STARTING
CAUTION:
Use a battery rated at 12 volts
for a booster.
1. Remove vent caps on the
battery (if so equipped).
Cover the battery with an old
cloth as shown.
2.
Connect jumper cables in the
sequence as illustrated.
CAUTION:
An incorrect connection could
result
in
damage
to
the
charging system.
3. Start the engine of the other
vehicle and let it run for a few
minutes. Keep the engine
speed at about 2,000 rpm,
and start your engine in the
normal manner.
4. After starting your engine,
carefully disconnect the
negative cable and then the
positive cable.
5. Replace the vent caps (if so
equipped).
If your vehicle is equipped
with dual batteries, it is not
necessary to connect a booster
battery to both batteries; one
battery is enough. Jump starting
procedure is the same as that for
single battery models. Follow the
instructions and precautions in
the preceding page.
PUSH STARTING
CAUTION:
Automatic
transmission
models cannot be started by
pushing.
This
may
cause
transmission damage.
Never try to start the
vehicle by towing it; when the
engine
starts,
the
forward
surge could cause the vehicle
to collide with the tow vehicle.
Gasoline engine
