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 instruc-

tions 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 OFF.

• 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.

Jump-Starting Procedure

• Connect the positive (+) end of the jumper cable to the remote positive (+) post of the

discharged vehicle.

• Connect the opposite end of the positive (+) jumper cable to the positive (+) post of the

booster battery.

• Connect the negative end (-) of the jumper cable to the negative (-) post of the booster

battery.

• Connect the opposite end of the negative (-) jumper cable to the remote negative (-) post of

the vehicle with the discharged battery.

• Start the engine in the vehicle that has the booster battery, let the engine idle a few minutes,

and then start the engine in the vehicle with the discharged battery.
