Jump Starting

If your vehicle’s battery 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.

Your vehicle cannot be started by pushing or
pulling it, and can be damage by trying it.

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. Get the vehicles close enough so the jumper

cables can reach, but be sure the vehicles are
not touching each other. If they are, it could
cause a ground connection you do not want.
You would not be able to start your vehicle, and
the bad grounding could damage the electrical
systems.

To avoid the possibility of the vehicles rolling,
set the parking brake firmly on both vehicles
involved in the jump start procedure. Put an
automatic transmission in PARK (P) or a
manual transmission in NEUTRAL before
setting the parking brake. If you have a
four-wheel-drive vehicle, be sure the transfer
case is not in NEUTRAL.
