WARNING!

You should not try to start your vehicle by pushing

or towing.

Do not connect the cable to the negative post of the

discharge battery. The resulting electrical spark
could cause the battery to explode.

During cold weather when temperatures are be-

low freezing point, electrolyte in a discharged
battery may freeze. Do not attempt jump-starting
because the battery could rupture or explode. The
battery temperature must be brought up above
freezing point before attempting jump-start.

lizer, turn the ignition switch to the ON position for 3
seconds before moving the ignition switch to the START
position.

8. Start the engine in the vehicle that has the booster
battery, let the engine idle a few minutes, and then start
the engine in the vehicle with the discharged battery.

9. When removing the jumper cables, reverse the above
sequence exactly. Be careful of the moving belts and fan.
