WARNING! (Continued)

• Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of the vehicle close to moving traffic. Pull far

enough off the road to avoid being hit when operating the jack or changing the wheel.

• Carefully follow these tire changing procedures to help prevent personal injury or

damage to your vehicle: Always park on a firm, level surface as far from the edge of the

roadway as possible before raising the vehicle.

• Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can make the vehicle less stable and could

cause it to slip off the jack and hurt someone near it. Raise the vehicle only enough to

remove the tire.

• A loose tire or jack, thrown forward in a collision or hard stop, could endanger the

occupants of the vehicle. Always stow the jack parts and the spare tire in the places

provided.

JUMP-STARTING

• If your vehicle has a discharged battery it can

be jump-started using a set of jumper cables

and a battery in another vehicle or by using a

portable battery booster pack.

• Jump-starting can be dangerous if done

improperly so please follow the procedures in

this section carefully.

NOTE: When using a portable battery booster

pack follow the manufacturer’s operating

instructions and precautions.

Preparations for Jump-Start

• The battery is stored under an access cover in the trunk. Remote battery posts are located on

the right side of the engine compartment for jump-starting.

NOTE: The remote battery posts are viewed by standing on the right side of the vehicle looking

over the fender.

• Set the parking brake, shift the automatic transmission into PARK and turn the ignition to

LOCK.

• Turn off the heater, radio, and all unnecessary electrical accessories.

• If using another vehicle to jump-start the battery, park the vehicle within the jumper cables

reach, set the parking brake and make sure the ignition is OFF.
