JUMP-STARTING:
The following jump-starting procedures should be followed when rendering assistance to
a 2013 Lexus GS Series.
Never use jump-starting equipment that can exceed normal 12-volt charging
system voltage.
Ensure that all electrical accessories and the ignition is turned OFF and all
aftermarket electronics are disconnected before connecting jumper cables or a
jumper box to the discharged vehicle.
NOTE: If the battery has gone discharged with the ignition switch in a position
other than “OFF” the on-board computer will retain this setting. Once power
is restored to the vehicle, the ignition switch will default back to its last position.
This may result in the jump-start connections being made with the ignition in
the “ON” position. Question the vehicle operator about the last known position
of the ignition switch
If using jumper cables, make connections in the following order:
1.
Connect the positive (+) jumper cable to the positive battery terminal of the
discharged vehicle and to the positive (+) battery terminal of the donor vehicle
or jumper box.
2.
Connect the negative (-) jumper cable to the negative battery terminal of the
donor vehicle. (Skip this step if using a jumper box.)
3.
Connect the negative (-) cable to negative battery terminal of the discharged
vehicle.
Get into the vehicle and close all doors before attempting to turn the ignition on.
Depress the “ENGINE START STOP” switch to the “IG-ON” mode.
Depress the brake pedal and while holding the brake pedal down, press the
“ENGINE START STOP” button one more time to start the vehicle.
