Jump Starting
If your battery (or batteries) has run down, you may want
to use another vehicle and some jumper cables to start
your vehicle. Be sure to use the following steps to do
it safely.
{
CAUTION:
Batteries can hurt you. They can be dangerous
because:
•
They contain acid that can burn you.
•
They contain gas that can explode or ignite.
•
They contain enough electricity to
burn you.
If you do not follow these steps exactly, some or
all of these things can hurt you.
Notice: Ignoring these steps could result in costly
damage to your vehicle that would not be covered
by your warranty.
Trying to start your vehicle by pushing or pulling it
will not work, and it could damage your vehicle.
1. Check the other vehicle. It must have a
12-volt battery with a negative ground system.
Notice: If the other vehicle’s system is not a 12-volt
system with a negative ground, both vehicles can
be damaged. Only use vehicles with 12-volt systems
with negative grounds to jump start your vehicle.
2. If you have a vehicle with a diesel engine with
two batteries (or more), you should know before
you begin that, especially in cold weather, you may
not be able to get enough power from a single
battery in another vehicle to start your diesel engine.
If your vehicle has more than one battery, use
the battery that is closer to the starter — this will
reduce electrical resistance.
