Jump
Starting
If
your battery has run down, you may want
to
use
another vehicle and some jumper cables
to
start your
vehicle. Be sure
to
follow
“
e steps below to do it safely.
Batteries can hurt you. They can be dangerous
because:
They contain acid that can burn you.
They contain gas that can explode or
They contain enough electricity to
ignite.
burn you.
If you don’t 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 wouldn’t be covered
by your warranty.
Trying to start your vehicle by pushing or pulling it
won’t work, and
it
could damage your vehicle.
1.
Check the other vehicle.
It
must have a 12-volt
battery with a negative ground system.
Notice:
If
the other system isn’t a 12-volt system
with a negative ground, both vehicles can be
damaged.
2.
Get the vehicles close enough
so
the jumper cables
can reach, but be sure the vehicles aren’t touching
each other. If they are, it could cause a ground
connection you don’t want. You wouldn’t 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.
Notice:
If you leave your radio on,
it
could be badly
damaged. The repairs wouldn’t be covered by
your warranty.
3.
Turn
off
the ignition on both vehicles. Unplug
unnecessary accessories plugged into the cigarette
lighter or in the accessory power outlet. Turn
off
the radio and all lamps that aren’t needed. This will
avoid sparks and help save both batteries. And it
could save your radio!
