JUMP-STARTING
• 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 proce-
dures in this section carefully.
NOTE:
When using a portable battery booster pack
follow the manufacturer's operating instruc-
tions and precautions.
Preparations For Jump-Start

between the left front headlight assem-
bly and the left front wheel splash shield.

battery posts located on the left side of
the engine compartment.
