IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY
1262. Remove all the vent plugs from the booster battery. Lay a
cloth over the open vents on the booster battery. (This helps
reduce the explosion hazard.)
If the booster battery is an extended maintenance interval
battery, it is not necessary to remove the vent plugs.
3. If the engine in the vehicle with the booster battery is not
running, start it and let it run for a few minutes. During jump
starting, run the engine at about 2000 rpm with the accelerator
pedal lightly depressed.
4. Connect the jumper cables in the exact order shown in the
illustration: positive-to-positive (+), and negative-to-engine or
body ground (−). Note that you first connect the positive cable
to the discharged battery and then to the booster battery. Next,
connect the negative cable to the booster battery and then to
a solid, stationary, metallic point (e.g. engine hanging hook)
away from the battery. Do not connect it to or near any part that
moves when the engine is cranked
NOTICE:
When making the connections, do not lean over the
battery or accidentally let the jumper cables or clamps
touch anything except the correct battery terminals or
the ground.
5. Start your engine in the normal way. After starting, run it at
about 2000 rpm for several minutes with the accelerator pedal
lightly depressed6. Carefully disconnect the cables in the exact reverse order:
the negative cable and then the positive cable.
7. Carefully dispose of the battery cover cloth which may now
contain sulfuric acid.
8. Replace all the battery vent plugs.
If the cause of your battery discharging is not apparent (for
example, lights left on), you should have it checked.
IF YOUR VEHICLE OVERHEATS
If your temperature gauge indicates overheating, if you
experience a loss of power, or if you hear a loud knocking
or pinging noise, the engine has probably overheated.
You should follow this procedure ...
1. Pull safely off the road, stop the vehicle and turn on your
emergency flashers. Put the transmission in “P” (automatic) or
neutral (manual) and apply the parking brake. Turn off the air
conditioner if it is being used.
2. If coolant or steam is boiling out of the radiator or reservoir,
stop the engine. Wait until the steam subsides before opening
the hood. If there is no coolant boiling over or steam, leave the
engine running and make sure that the engine cooling fan is
operating. If it is riot, turn the ignition off.
CAUTION:
To help avoid personal injury, keep the hood closed until
there is no steam. Escaping steam or coolant is a sign of
very high pressure.

6. After making sure that no one is in the vehicle, raise it
high enough so that the spare tire can be installed.
Allow for the fact that you need more ground clearance when
putting on the spare tire than when removing the flat tire,
To raise the vehicle, insert the jack handle into the jack (it is a
loose fit) and turn it clockwise. As the jack touches the vehicle
and begins to lift, double-check that it is properly positioned.
CAUTION
Never get under the vehicle when it is supported by the
jack alone.7. Remove the wheel nuts and remove the flat tire.
Lift the flat tire straight oil and put it aside.
Before putting on the spare wheel, remove any corrosion on
the mounting surfaces with a wire brush or such. Installation of
wheels without good metal-to-metal contact at the mounting
surface can cause wheel nuts to loosen and eventually cause
a wheel to come off while driving.
