WARNING!
• Take care to avoid the radiator cooling
f an
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 inadver-
tent electrical contact . You could be seriously
injured.
• Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can burn
your skin or eyes and generate hydrogen gas
which is flammable and explosive. Keep open
flames or sparks away from the battery.
1. Set the parking brake, shift the automatic transmis- sion into PARK and the manual transmission into
gear and turn the ignition to LOCK.
2. Turn off the heater, radio, and all unnecessary elec- trical accessories.
3. Remove the protective cover over the remote posi- tive (+)battery post. To remove the cover, press
the locking tab and pull upward on the cover.
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
oth er
as this could establish a ground
connection and personal injury could result .
JUMP-STARTING PROCEDURE
WARNING!
Failure to follow this jump-starting pro-
cedure c
ould result in personal injury or
property damage due to battery explosion.
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 remote positive (+)post of the discharged
vehicle.
2. Connect the opposite end of the positive (+)
jumper cable to the positive (+)post of the booster

4. Connect the opposite end of the negative(-)
jumper cable to the remote negative (-)post of the
vehicle with the discharged battery.
WARNING!
Do not connect the jumper cable to the
nega t
ive(-)post of the discharged bat-
tery. The resulting electrical spark could cause
the battery to explode and could result in per-
sonal 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
start the engine in the vehicle with the discharged
battery.
6. Once the engine is started, remove the jumper cables in the reverse sequence:
Disconnecting The Jumper Cables
1. Disconnect the negative (-)jumper cable from the
remote negative (-)post 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 remote positive (+)post of the discharged
vehicle.
5. Reinstall the protective cover over the remote posi- tive (+)battery 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.
Accessories plugged into the vehicle
power outlets draw power from the vehi-
cle’s battery, even when not in use (i.e.,
cellular phones, etc .). Eventually, if plugged in long
enough without engine operation, the vehicle’s
battery will discharge sufficiently to degrade bat-
tery life and/or prevent the engine from starting.

Disposing Of Used Engine Oil And Oil Filters
Care should be taken in disposing of used engine oil and
oil filters from your vehicle. Used oil and oil filters,
indiscriminately discarded, can present a problem to
the environment. Contact your authorized dealer, ser-
vice station or governmental agency for advice on how
and where used oil and oil filters can be safely discarded
in your area.
ENGINE AIR CLEANER FILTER
Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule” for the proper
maintenance intervals.
WARNING!
The air induction system (air cleaner,
hoses ,
etc .) can provide a measure of
protection in the case of engine backfire. Do not
remove the air induction system (air cleaner,
hoses, etc .) unless such removal is necessary for
repair or maintenance. Make sure that no one is
near the engine compartment before starting the
vehicle with the air induction system (air cleaner,
hoses, etc .) removed. Failure to do so can result in
serious personal injury. Engine Air Cleaner Filter Selection
The quality of replacement engine air cleaner filters
varies considerably. Only high quality filters should be
used to assure most efficient service.
MAINTENANCE-FREE BATTERY
You will never have to add water, and periodic mainte-
nance is not required.
NOTE:
The battery is stored in a compartment that is
located behind the left front fender and is accessible
through the wheel well. The wheel and tire assemble
do not need to be removed to access the compart-
ment. Remote battery terminals are located in the
engine compartment for jump-starting.
To access the battery, turn the steering wheel fully to
the right and remove the access panel from the inner
fender shield.
WARNING!
• Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solu-
t i
on and can burn or even blind you. Do
not allow battery fluid to contact your eyes, skin,
or clothing. Do not lean over a battery when
attaching clamps. If acid splashes in eyes or on
skin, flush the area immediately with large
amounts of water.
