JUMP STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
WARNING: The gases around the battery can explode if
exposed to flames, sparks, or lit cigarettes. An explosion could
result in injury or vehicle damage.
Do not push start your vehicle. You could damage the catalytic
converter. WARNING: Batteries contain sulfuric acid which can burn skin,
eyes, and clothing, if contacted.

Do not attempt to push start your vehicle. Automatic
transmissions do not have push-start capability.
Preparing your vehicle
When the battery is disconnected or a new battery is installed, the
transmission must relearn its adaptive strategy. As a result of this, the
transmission may shift firmly. This operation is considered normal and
will not effect function or durability of the transmission. Over time, the
adaptive learning process will fully update transmission operation to its
optimum shift feel.
²Use 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.
² 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 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.
² Turn the heater fan on in both vehicles to protect any electrical
surges. Turn all other accessories off.

4. Remove the jumper cable from the positive (+) terminal of the disabled vehicle's battery.
After the disabled vehicle has been started and the jumper cables
removed, allow it to idle for several minutes so the engine computer can
relearn its idle conditions.
When the battery is disconnected or a new battery is installed, the
transmission must relearn its adaptive strategy. As a result of this, the
transmission may shift firmly. This operation is considered normal and
will not effect function or durability of the transmission. Over time, the
