JUMP-STARTING PROCEDURE (12 VOLT BATTERY ONLY)
If your vehicle has a discharged 12 Volt battery, it can be jump-started using a set of
jumper cables and a battery in another vehicle or by using a portable battery booster
pack.Jump-starting can be dangerous if done improperly so please follow the procedures
in this section carefully.
NOTE:
When using a portable battery booster pack, follow the manufacturer’s operating instruc-
tions and precautions.
WARNING!
Do not attempt jump-starting if the battery is frozen.It could rupture or explode and
cause personal injury.
CAUTION!
Do not use a portable battery booster pack or any other booster source with a sys-
tem voltage greater than 12 Volts or damage to the battery, power electronics or elec-
trical system may occur.
Preparations For Jump-Start
The battery in your vehicle is located in the underhood compartment under the beauty
cover.To access the battery pull upward on the cover.

WARNING!
•Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan whenever the hood is raised.It can
start anytime the ignition switch is ON.You can be injured by moving fan blades.
•Remove any metal jewelry such as rings, watch bands and bracelets that could
make an inadvertent electrical contact.You could be seriously injured.
•Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can burn your skin or eyes and generate hydro-
gen gas which is flammable and explosive.Keep open flames or sparks away from
the battery.
1.Set the parking brake, place the transmission into PARK and turn the ignition to
LOCK.
2.Turn off the heater, radio, and all unnecessary electrical accessories.
3.Remove the protective cover over the positive(+)battery post.
4.If using another vehicle to jump-start the battery, park the vehicle within the jumper
cables reach, set the parking brake and make sure the ignition is OFF.
WARNING!
Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a ground connection
and personal injury could result.
Jump-Starting Procedure
WARNING!
Failure to follow this jump-starting procedure could result in personal injury or prop-
erty damage due to battery explosion.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these procedures could result in damage to the charging system of the
booster vehicle or the discharged vehicle.

Connecting The Jumper Cables
1.Connect the positive(+)end of the jumper cable to the positive(+)post of the dis-
charged vehicle.
2.Connect the opposite end of the positive(+)jumper cable to the positive(+)post of
the booster battery.
3.Connect the negative end(-)of the jumper cable to the negative(-)post of the
booster battery.
4.Connect the opposite end of the negative(-)jumper cable to a good engine ground
(exposed metal part of the discharged vehicle underhood compartment) away from
the battery.
WARNING!
Do not connect the jumper cable to the negative(-)post of the discharged battery.
The resulting electrical spark could cause the battery to explode and could result in
personal injury.Only use the specific ground point, do not use any other exposed metal
parts.
5.Start the engine in the vehicle that has the booster battery, let the engine idle a few
minutes, and then turn the key to RUN position on the vehicle with the discharged
battery.
6.Once the vehicle is started, remove the jumper cables in the reverse sequence:
Disconnecting The Jumper Cables
1.Disconnect the negative(-)jumper cable from the engine ground(-)of the vehicle
with the discharged battery.
2.Disconnect the negative end(-)of the jumper cable from the negative(-)post of the
booster battery.
3.Disconnect the opposite end of the positive(+)jumper cable from the positive(+)
post of the booster battery.
4.Disconnect the positive(+)end of the jumper cable from the positive(+)post of the
discharged vehicle.
If frequent jump-starting is required to start your vehicle, you should have the battery
and charging system inspected at your authorized dealer.

MANUAL PARK RELEASE
WARNING!
Always secure your vehicle by fully applying the parking brake, before activating the
Manual Park Release.Activating the Manual Park Release will allow your vehicle to roll
away if it is not secured by the parking brake or other means.Activating the Manual
Park Release on an unsecured vehicle could lead to serious injury or death for those in
or around the vehicle.
In order to move the vehicle in cases where the transmission will not shift out of PARK
(such as a dead battery), a Manual Park Release is available.Ifadead12voltbatteryis
the cause of the condition refer to “Jump Start Procedure — 12 Volt Battery” before
performing the Manual Park Release.
To perform the Manual Park Release follow these steps:
1.To prevent the vehicle from rolling unintentionally, firmly apply the parking brake.
2.If possible, raise the front driver's side of the vehicle to provide access to the trans-
mission.
3.Working from underneath the vehicle, remove the black rubber plug from the front
of the Park module (a black canister mounted on the front of the transmission).
4.Using a T25 driver bit, rotate the Manual Park Release shaft (located just behind the
rubber plug) clockwise, at least 20 turns, to release the Park mechanism.The vehicle is
now out of PARK and can be moved.
5.Reinstall the rubber plug.
6.Release the parking brake only when a
driver is in the vehicle, or the vehicle is
secured by other means.The Manual
Park Release will be reset automatically
once the vehicle is restarted.
