Emergency  situations 
Emergency  situations 
General 
This chapter  is intended  for  trained  emergency  crews and  working  personnel  who  have the  nec
essary tools  and  equipment  to  perform  these 
operations. 
Starting  by  pushing  or 
towing 
CD Note 
Vehicles  with  an  automatic  transmission 
cannot  be started  by pushing  or towing. 
Starting  with  jumper 
cables 
If necessary,  the  engin e con be started  by  con
necting  it to  the  battery  of  another  vehicle. 
If the  engine  should  fail  to start  because  of a  dis
charged  or weak  battery,  the battery  can  be  con
nected  to  the  battery  of 
another vehicle,  using a 
pair  of jumper  cables to  start  the  engine. 
Jumper  cables 
Use only jumper  cables  of  sufficiently  large cross 
section 
to  carry  the  starter  current  safely.  Refer 
to  the  manufacturer's  specifications. 
Use only jumper  cables  with 
insulated terminal 
clamps  which  are distinctly  marked : 
plus(+)  cable in most  cases  colored red 
minus(-)  cable 
in  most  cases colored black. 
A WARNING 
Batteries  contain  electricity,  acid,  and  gas. 
Any of these  can  cause  very  serious  or fatal  in
jury.  Follow  the  instructions  below  for 
safe 
handling  of your  vehicle's  battery. 
-Always  shield  your  eyes  and  avoid  leaning 
over  the  battery  whenever  possible. 
-A  discharged  battery  can  freeze  at  tempera
tures  just below  32  °F (0 °C).  Before  con
necting  a jumper  cable,  you  must  thaw  the 
356 
frozen  battery  completely,  otherwise  it  could  explode. 
- Do not  allow  battery acid  to  contact  eyes  or 
skin.  Flush  any  contacted  area  with  water  immediately. 
- Improper  use  of a  booster  battery  to  start  a 
vehicle  may  cause  an  explosion. 
- Vehicle  batteries  generate  explosive  gases. 
Keep  sparks,  flame  and  lighted  cigarettes 
away  from  batteries. 
- Do not  try  to  jump  start  any  vehicle  with  a 
low acid  level  in the  battery. 
- The voltage  of the  booster  battery  must  also 
have  a  12-Volt  rating.  The  capacity  (Ah) of 
the  booster  battery  should  not  be  lower 
than  that  of the  discharged  battery. Use of 
batteries  of  different  voltage  or  substantial
ly different  "Ah" rating  may  cause  an  explo
sion  and  personal  injury. 
- Never  charge  a frozen  battery.  Gas trapped  in  the  ice  may  cause  an  explosion. 
- Never  charge  or  use a  battery  that  has been 
frozen . The  battery 
case may  have  be  weak
ened . 
- Use of  batteries  of  different  voltage  or  sub
stantially  different  capacity  (Ah)  rating may 
cause  an  explosion  and  injury. The  capacity 
(Ah) of  the booster  battery  should  not  be 
lower  than  that  of  the discharged  battery. 
- Before  you check  anything  in the  engine 
compartment,  always  read  and  heed all 
WARNINGS 
~page  304. 
CD Note 
-Applying  a  higher  voltage  booster  battery 
will  cause  expensive  damage  to sensitive 
electronic  components,  such  as  control 
units,  relays,  radio,  etc. 
- There  must  be  no  electrical contact between 
the  vehicles  as otherwise  current  could  al
ready  start  to flow  as soon  as  the  positive 
(+) terminals  are  connected. 
@ Tips 
The  discharged  battery must be  properly  con-
nected  to  the  vehicle's  electrical  system.  .,..  
Page 359 of 386
When jump starting  or charging  the  battery, 
never  connect  the  negative  ground  cable  to 
the  battery  negative  post  because  the  battery 
manager  system  must  be  able  to  detect  the 
battery's  state  of  charge . Always connect  the 
negative  ground  cable  to  the  negat ive ground 
post  of  the battery  manager  control  unit . 
Using  the  jump  start 
cable 
Both jump  start  cables  must  be  connected in the 
correct order!
