WARNING!

(Continued)

• Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan whenever the hood is

raised. It can start anytime the ignition switch is on. You can be
injured by moving fan blades.

• Remove any metal jewelry, such as watch bands or bracelets, that

might make an inadvertent electrical contact. You could be severely
injured.

• Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can burn your skin or eyes and

generate hydrogen gas which is flammable and explosive. Keep
open flames or sparks away from the battery.

• Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a

ground connection and personal injury could result.

• Failure to follow this procedure could result in personal injury or

property damage due to battery explosion.

• Do not connect the cable to the negative post (-) of the discharged

battery. The resulting electrical spark could cause the battery to
explode and could result in personal injury.
