228 
thaw  completely  before  attempting  to  charge  it 
c> & . However,  we  recommend  not  using  a 
thawed  battery  aga in  because  the  battery  cas ing 
can  be  cracked  due  to  ice formation  and  can  leak 
battery  ac id. 
Batte ry cha rging  (M ax imum  charg ing  rate  of 
30  amps /14 .8  V olt) 
When  charging  at low voltages  (e.g.  with  a tric k
le ch arger ), 
the  battery  cables  do  not  have  to  be 
disconnected  first . The  battery  caps  should 
not 
be  opened  when  charging  a  battery . 
It  is  not  necessary  to  remove  the  battery  from 
the  luggage  compartment,  and  it  is  also  not  nec
essary  to  disconnect  the  cables. 
Fa st  cha rging  the  batt ery  (charg ing  rat e 
above  14 .8  Volt s) 
For techn ical  reasons  do  not  use  a  battery  charg
er  that  uses  voltage  greater  than  14.8  Volts  to 
charge  your  veh icle's  battery. 
&_ WARNING 
Charg ing  a  battery  can  be  dangerous . 
- Always follow  the  operating  instructions 
provided  by the  battery  cha rger  manufactur
er when  charging  your  ba tte ry .

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  can
not  be  started  by pushing  or  towing. 
Starting  with  jumper 
cables 
If  necessary,  the engine  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  hand  Ling 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 
264 
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.
