CAUTION:_
Do not use accessories requiring more
than the above maximum capacity. This
may overload the circuit and cause the
fuse to blow.
If accessories are used without the engine
running or with the headlights turned on,
the battery will lose its charge and engine
starting may become difficult.
Do not use an automotive cigarette lighter
or other accessories with a plug that gets
hot because the jack can be damaged.

1. Turn the key to “OFF”.
2. Open the hood. (See pages 8-17–8-19 for
hood opening and closing procedures.)
3. Remove the battery compartment cover.
4. Using a charged 12 V battery, connect the
positive lead of the jumper cable to the posi-
tive terminal of the battery in the vehicle and
the other end of the positive lead to the posi-
tive terminal of the charged battery.
