automatic transmission into PARK (P)
(manual transmission in NEUTRAL) and
place the ignition OFF.
2. Turn off the heater, radio, and all
unnecessary electrical accessories.

cable to the positive (+) post of the
discharged vehicle.

WARNING!
Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan
whenever the hood is raised. It can start
anytime the ignition switch is ON. You can
be injured by moving fan blades.
Remove any metal jewelry such as rings,
watch bands and bracelets that could
make an inadvertent electrical contact. You
could be seriously injured.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can
burn your skin or eyes and generate
hydrogen gas which is flammable and
explosive. Keep open flames or sparks
away from the battery.
WARNING!
Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as
this could establish a ground connection and
personal injury could result.
WARNING!
Failure to follow this jump starting procedure
could result in personal injury or property
damage due to battery explosion.

Failure to follow these procedures could
result in damage to the charging system of
the booster vehicle or the discharged vehicle.
