5. Start the engine in the vehicle that has the booster
battery, let the engine idle a few minutes and then
cycle the ignition to ON/RUN in the vehicle with the
discharged battery.
6. After a couple minutes (depending on the level of
12 Volt battery discharge), attempt to start the
vehicle. Once the vehicle starts, follow the discon-
necting procedure.
Disconnecting The Jumper Cables
1. Disconnect the negative
(-)
end of the jumper cable
from the remote negative
(-)
post of the vehicle with
the discharged battery.
2. Disconnect the opposite end of the negative
(-)
jumper cable from the negative
(-)
post of the
booster battery.
3. Disconnect the positive
(+)
end of the jumper cable
from the positive
(+)
post of the booster battery.
4. Disconnect the opposite end of the positive
(+)
jumper cable from the remote positive
(+)
post of
the discharged vehicle, and reinstall the protective
cap.
5. Close the cover of the Front Power Distribution
Center.
If frequent jump starting is required to start your vehicle
you should have the battery and charging system
inspected at an authorized dealer.
CAUTION!
Accessories plugged into the vehicle power outlets
draw power from the vehicle’s battery, even when not
in use (i.e., cellular devices, etc.). Eventually, if
plugged in long enough without engine operation, the
vehicle’s battery will discharge sufficiently to degrade
battery life and/or prevent the engine from starting.
BATTERY LOCATION
There are two remote jump starting posts under the
hood which is the recommended jump start location. If
access to the battery is needed, an access panel on the
driver’s side floor will allow for battery access.
IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS
If the vehicle is overheating, it will need to be serviced
by an authorized dealer.
In any of the following situations, you can reduce the
potential for overheating by taking the appropriate
action.
•
On the highways — slow down.
•
In city traffic — while stopped, place the transmis-
sion in NEUTRAL (N), but do not increase the engine
idle speed while preventing vehicle motion with the
brakes.
NOTE:
There are steps that you can take to slow down an
impending overheat condition:
•
If your Air Conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The A/C
system adds heat to the engine cooling system and
turning the A/C off can help remove this heat.
