JUMP-STARTING PROCEDURES
WARNING!
²Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get
it started. Unburned fuel could enter the catalytic
converter and once the engine has started, ignite
and damage the converter and vehicle. If the
vehicle has a discharged battery, booster cables
may be used to obtain a start from a booster
battery or the battery in another vehicle. This type
of start can be dangerous if done improperly, so
follow this procedure carefully.
²Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan and
accessory drive whenever the hood is raised. You
can be hurt by the moving components.
WARNING!
²Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution; do not
allow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin or cloth-
ing. Don't lean over battery when attaching
clamps or allow the clamps to touch each other. If
acid splashes in eyes or on skin, flush contami-
nated area immediately with large quantities of
water.
²A battery generates hydrogen gas that is flam-
mable and explosive. Keep flame or spark away
from the top of the battery. Do not use a booster
battery or any other booster source with an output
that exceeds 12 volts.
