Emergency  situations 
General 
This  chapter  is intended  for  trained  emer
gency crews  and  working  personnel  who 
have the  necessary tools  and equipment  to 
perform  these  ope rations. 
Starting  by  pushing  or 
towing 
Q;) Note 
Vehicles  w ith  an  automatic  transmission 
cannot  be  started  by pus hing  o r tow ing. 
Starting  with  jumper 
cables 
If necessary,  the  engine can be started  by 
connecting  it to  the  battery  of  another  vehi
cle. 
If the  engine  should  fail  to  start  because  of a 
discharged  or weak  battery,  the  battery  can  be 
connected  to  the  battery  of 
another veh icle, 
using  a 
pair  of jumpe r cables to  start  the  en
g ine . 
Jumper  cables 
Use only jumper  cables  of sufficiently  large 
cross section to  carry  the  starter  current  safe
ly. Refer  to  the  manufacturer's  specif ications. 
Use only jumper  cables  with 
insulated termi
na l clamps  which  are  distinctly  marked: 
plus(+)  cable in most  cases  colored red 
minu s(-)  cable 
in most  cases  colored black . 
A WARNING 
Batteries  contain  electricity, acid,  and  gas. 
Any of  these can cause  very serious  or fatal 
inju ry.  Follow  the  instructions  below for 
safe  handling  of your  veh icle's  battery. 
- Always shield  you r eyes  and  avoid lean
ing  over  the  battery  whenever possible. 
- A discharged  battery can freeze  at  tem
peratures  just be low  32  °F (0 °C).  Before  connecting  a 
jumper cable,  you  must 
thaw  the  frozen  battery  complete ly, oth
erwise  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  gas
es.  Keep  sparks,  flame  and  lighted  ciga
rettes  away  from  batteries. 
- Do not  try  to  jump  start  any  vehicle  with  a  low acid  level in the  battery. 
- The  vo ltage  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  bat
tery . Use  of  batteries  of  d ifferent  voltage 
or  substantially  different "Ah" rating 
may  cause  an  exp losion  and  personal in
jury. 
- Never  charge  a  frozen  batte ry.  Gas  trap
ped  in the  ice  may  cause an  explosion. 
- Never charge or use a battery that  has 
been  frozen.  The battery  case  may  have 
be  weakened. 
- Use of  batter ies  of  different  voltage  or 
substantially  different  capacity  (Ah) rat
ing  may  cause  an  exp losion  and  injury. 
The  capacity  (Ah) of  the booster  battery 
should  not  be  lower  than  that  of the  dis 
charged  battery. 
- Before  you  check  anything  in  the  engine 
compartment,  always  read  and  heed  a ll 
WARNINGS

partment. 
«I) Note 
-Applying  a  higher  voltage  booster  bat
tery  will cause  expensive  damage to  sen
sitive  electronic  components,  such  as 
contro l units,  relays,  rad io,  etc . 
- There  must  be  no  electrical  contact  be
tween  the  vehicles  as  otherwise current 
could  already  start  to  flow  as  soon  as  the 
positive(+)  terminals  are  connected.  ..,_

2 76  Emergency  situations 
-When  connecting  jumper  cables,  make 
sure  that  they  cannot  get  caught  in any 
moving  parts  in the  engine  compart
ment. 
- Before  you  check  anything  in the  engine 
compartment,  always  read and  heed  all

partment. 
(D Note 
Improper  hook-up  of jumper  cables  can  ru
in the  generator. 
-Always  connect  POSITIVE(+) to  POSI TIVE(+),  and  NEGATIVE( -) to  NEGATIVE 
( - ) ground  post  of the  battery  manager 
control  unit. 
- Check that  all  screw  plugs  on  the  battery 
cells  are  screwed  in firmly . If  not,  tighten 
plugs  prior  to connecting  clamp  on  nega
tive  battery  terminal. 
- Please  note that  the  procedure  for  con
necting  a jumper  cable  as  described 
above  applies  specifically  to the  case  of 
you r vehicle  being  jump  started.  When 
you  are giving  a jump  start  to  another  ve
hicle,  do 
not connect  the  negative(-)  ca
ble  to  the  negative(-)  terminal  on  the 
discharged  battery@c:>fig. 
215. In
stead,  securely  connect  the  negative(-) 
cable  to  either  a  solid  metal  component 
that  is firmly  bolted  to  the  engine  block 
or  to  the  engine  block  itself.  If  the  bat
te ry  that  is being  charged  does  not  vent 
to  the  outside,  escaping  battery gas 
could  ignite  and explode!

front  or  rear  axle  or the  body side 
members.  This could  lead  to  serious 
damage. 
- To avoid  damage  to  the  underbody  or 
chassis frame , a  rubber  pad  must  be 
i nserted  between  the  floor  jack  and 
the  lift  points. 
- Before  driving  over a workshop  hoist, 
check that  the  veh icle weight  does  not 
exceed the  permissible  lifting  capacity 
of the  hoist. 
- Before  driving  over a workshop  hoist, 
ensure  that  there  is sufficient  clear
