MKZ (CC9) Brakes

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:
Use only a 12-volt supply to start
your vehicle.
Note: Do not disconnect the battery
of the disabled vehicle as this could
damage the vehicle's electrical system.
1. Park the booster vehicle close to the hood of the disabled vehicle
making sure the two vehicles do
not touch. Set the parking brake
on both vehicles and stay clear of
the engine cooling fan and other
moving parts. 2. Check all battery terminals and
remove any excessive corrosion
before you attach the battery
cables. Ensure that vent caps are
tight and level.
3. Turn the heater fan on in both vehicles to protect from any
electrical surges. Turn all other
accessories off.
Connecting the Jumper Cables
Your vehicle has two battery prongs
that are accessible from under the
hood, even though the actual battery
is located in the trunk. Your vehicle
can be jumped the same way
conventional vehicles can be using
these prongs. The illustration below
shows the two connector prongs used
for jump-starting your vehicle.

1. Connect the positive (+) jumper
cable to the positive (+) prong (B)
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 the negative
(-) prong (A) of your vehicle.
Note: Do not attach the negative (-)
cable to fuel lines, engine rocker covers,
the intake manifold or electrical
components as grounding points. 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. Ensure that the cables are clear of fan
blades, belts, moving parts of both
engines, or any fuel delivery system
parts.
Jump Starting
1.
Start the booster vehicle and press
the accelerator moderately.
2. Start the disabled vehicle.
3. Once the disabled vehicle has been started, run both vehicles for
an additional three minutes before
disconnecting the jumper cables.
Removing the Jumper Cables
Remove the jumper cables in the
reverse order that they were
connected.
Note: In the illustration, the vehicle on
the bottom is used to designate the
assisting (boosting) battery.

Electric and Hybrid-Electric
Vehicle Considerations
In the event of damage or fire
involving an electric vehicle (EV)
or hybrid-electric vehicle (HEV):
•
Always assume the high-voltage
battery and associated
components are energized and
fully charged.
• Exposed electrical components,
wires and high-voltage batteries
present potential high-voltage
shock hazards.
• Venting/off-gassing high-voltage
battery vapors are potentially toxic
and flammable.
• Physical damage to the vehicle or
high-voltage battery may result in
immediate or delayed release of
toxic, flammable gases and fire.
