To avoid battery explosion and/or serious
damage to the electrical system:
• Do not connect the negative lead of
the jumper cable to the negative termi-
nal of the battery
• Do not touch the positive lead of the
jumper cable to the negative lead.
• Do not reverse the polarity of the
jumper cables when connecting to the
batteries.
However, if the vehicle must be jump-started,
proceed as follows.
1. Turn the key to "OFF".
2. Open the hood. (See pages 8-7-8-8 for
hood opening and closing procedures.)
3. Remove the battery compartment cover.
4. Using a charged 12-volt battery, connect
the positive lead of the jumper cable to
the positive terminal of the battery in the
vehicle and the other end of the positive
lead to the positive terminal of the
charged battery.
