Jump starting procedure
Information
Your vehicle has a battery in the trunk
compartment. However, when you
jump start your vehicle, use the
jumper terminal in the engine com-
partment.
1.Make sure the booster battery is12-volt and that its negative termi-
nal is grounded.
2.When the booster battery is in another vehicle, separate the two
vehicles apart.
3.Turn OFF all unnecessary electri- cal systems.
4.Connect the jumper cables in the exact sequence as shown in the
illustration of the previous page.
First connect one of the jumper
cable ends to the positive terminal
of the jumper terminal (1), and then
connect the other end to the posi-
tive terminal on the booster battery
(2). Proceed to connect one of the
other jumper cable ends to the
negative terminal of the booster
battery (3), then the other end to
the negative terminal of the jumper
terminal (4). Clear the jump cables
away from any movable parts or
other battery terminals, when jump
starting.
Keep the jumper cables away from
any others except the correct bat-
tery terminal connections and the
correct grounding connections. Do
not apply unnecessary forces on
the battery when making connec-
tions. - Battery cables
When jump starting the dis-
charged battery in the trunk com-
partment, do not connect the
jumper cable between the nega-
tive terminal of the booster battery
and the negative terminal of the
discharged battery. This may
cause the discharged battery to
overheat, crack, or release the
acids.
Connect the jumper cable
between the negative terminal of
the booster battery and a solid,
stationary or metallic point often
discharges the battery.
5.First, start the engine of the vehicle
with the booster battery, over 2,000
rpm. Then, start your engine with
the discharged battery.
6.Turn your engine ON for at least 20 minutes either in the idling mode or
the driving mode. Otherwise, your
discharged battery is not
recharged enough to re-start the
vehicle.
When the cause of your battery dis-charging is not apparent, have yourvehicle checked by an authorizedEQUUS dealer.
Push-starting
A vehicle equipped with automatic
transmission cannot be push-start-
ed. Follow the instructions in "Jump
starting" of this chapter.
