JUMP STARTING THE VEHICLE (12 VOLT BATTERY ONLY)
WARNING:Batteries contain sulfuric acid which can burn skin,
eyes and clothing, if contacted.
Note: This procedure is only for the low voltage, 12 volt underhood
battery only. Do not attempt to jump start your high-voltage battery.
Do not attempt to push-start your automatic transmission vehicle.
Automatic transmissions do not have push-start capability. Attempting to
push-start a vehicle with an automatic transmission may cause
transmission damage.
Preparing Your Vehicle
Note: Your vehicle has a 12 volt battery that is easily accessible under
the hood. The 12 volt battery controls the switches and contacts that
engage the high voltage battery. The high-voltage battery cannot be
jumped with a standard 12 volt battery. If your high voltage battery
does not accept a regular charge, your vehicle must be towed to your
authorized dealership.
1. Use only a 12 volt supply to start your vehicle.
2. Do not disconnect the battery of the disabled vehicle as this could
damage the vehicle’s electrical system.
3. Park the booster vehicle close to the hood of the disabled vehicle
making sure the two vehicles do nottouch. Set the parking brake on
both vehicles. Stay clear of the motor cooling fan and other moving parts
on both vehicles.
4. Check all battery terminals and remove any excessive corrosion before
you attach the battery cables. Ensure that vent caps are tight and level.
5. Turn the heater fan on in both vehicles to protect from any electrical
surges. Turn all other accessories off.

the assisting (boosting) battery.
1. Connect the positive (+) jumper
cable to the positive (+) terminal of
the discharged battery.
2. Connect the other end of the
positive (+) cable to the positive
(+) terminal of the assisting battery.
3. Connect the negative (-) cable to
the negative (-) terminal of the
assisting battery.
4. Make the final connection of the
negative (-) cable to an exposed
metal part of the stalled vehicle’s
engine or motor.
WARNING:Do not connect the end of the second cable to the
negative (-) terminal of the battery to be jumped. A spark may
cause an explosion of the gases that surround the battery or a surge of
the battery .
Jump Starting
1. Start the engine of the booster vehicle and run the engine at
moderately increased speed.
2. Switch on the disabled vehicle to Ready to Drive mode.
3. Once the disabled vehicle has been started, keep both vehicles
running for an additional three minutes before disconnecting the jumper
cables.
