Jump starting procedure
✽
✽
NOTICE
Your vehicle has a battery in the
trunk compartment, but when you
jump start your vehicle, use the
jumper terminal in the engine com-
partment.
1.Make sure the booster battery is
12-volt and that its negative termi-
nal is grounded.
2.If the booster battery is in another
vehicle, do not allow the vehicles to
touch.
3.Turn off all unnecessary electrical
loads.
4.Connect the jumper cables in the
exact sequence shown in the illus-
tration. First connect one end of a
jumper cable to the positive termi-
nal of the jumper terminal (1), then
connect the other end to the posi-
tive terminal on the booster battery
(2). Proceed to connect one end of
the other jumper cable to the neg-
ative terminal of the booster bat-
tery (3), then the other end to the
negative terminal of the jumper ter-
minal (4).
Do not connect it to or near any
part that moves when the engine is
cranked.
Do not allow the jumper cables to
contact anything except the correct
battery terminals or the correct
ground. Do not lean over the bat-
tery when making connections.
5.Start the engine of the vehicle with
the booster battery and let it run at
2,000 rpm, then start the engine of
the vehicle with the discharged
battery.
6.Let the discharged battery run for
at least 20 minutes either by
engine idling or by driving before
you turn it off else the discharged
battery may not be recharged
enough to restart the car.
If the cause of your battery discharg-
ing is not apparent, you should have
your vehicle checked by an author-
ized EQUUS dealer.
Push-starting
Vehicles equipped with automatic
transmission cannot be push-start-
ed.
Follow the directions in this section
for jump-starting.
CAUTION
- Battery cables
If you jump start the discharged
battery in the trunk compart-
ment,
do not connect the
jumper cable from the negative
terminal of the booster battery
to the negative terminal of the
discharged battery. This can
cause the discharged battery to
overheat and crack, releasing
battery acid.
Connect the jumper cable from
the negative terminal of the
booster battery to a solid, sta-
tionary or metallic point away
from the discharged battery.
