You cannot start your Acura by
pushing or pulling it.

Open the hood and check the
physical condition of the battery
(see page

). In very cold

weather, check the condition of
the electrolyte. If it seems slushy
or like ice, do not try jump starting
until it thaws.

If your car’s battery has run down,
you may be able to start the engine
by using a booster battery. Although
this seems like a simple procedure,
you should take several precautions.

To jump start your car, follow these
directions closely:

not follow the correct procedure,

Keep all sparks, open flames,
and smoking materials away
from the battery.
