housing of a loaded truck or damage to your vehicle
may result.

If your vehicle has a discharged battery, it can be jump-
started using a set of jumper cables and a battery in another
vehicle or by using a portable battery booster pack. Jump-
starting can be dangerous if done improperly, so please
follow the procedures in this section carefully.
NOTE:When using a portable battery booster pack, follow
the manufacturer ’s operating instructions and precautions.

Do not attempt jump-starting if the battery is frozen. It
could rupture or explode and cause personal injury.

booster source with a system voltage greater than 12
Volts or damage to the battery, starter motor, alternator
or electrical system may occur.

engine compartment, behind the left headlight assembly.

protective cap if equipped. Lift up on the cap to gain access
to the positive battery post. Do not jump off fuses. Only
