connected from another vehicle, perform
the correct procedures according to the instruction manual. Incorrect procedures could result in a fire or explosion or dam-
age to the vehicles.
1. Get the vehicles close enough so the
jumper cables can reach, but be sure the vehicles aren’t touching each other.If they are, it could cause a ground con-
nection you don’t want. The vehicle will not start, and the bad grounding could
damage the electrical systems.
CAUTIONl Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-
volt battery.
If the other system isn’t 12-volt, shorting can damage both vehicles.
2. You could be injured if the vehicles
move. Set the parking brake firmly on
each vehicle. Put an automatic transmis-
sion in “P” (PARK) or a manual trans- mission in “N” (Neutral). Turn off the
ignition switch.
WARNINGl Turn off the ignition on both vehicles be-
forehand.
Make sure that the cables or your clothes cannot be caught by the fan or drive belt.
Personal injury could result.NOTEl Turn off all lamps, heater and other electri-
cal loads. This will avoid sparks and help
save both batteries.
3. Make sure battery electrolyte is at the
proper level.
Refer to “Battery” on page 10-10.
WARNINGl If electrolyte fluid is not visible, or ap-
pears to be frozen, Do Not Attempt Jump
Starting!
