Jump Starting

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.

You cannot start your Acura by
pushing or pulling it.

To jump start your car, follow these

directions closely:

1. Open the hood and check the

physical condition of the battery

(see page

236

). 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.

Taking Care of the Unexpected

A battery can explode if you do
not follow the correct procedure,
seriously injuring anyone
nearby.

Keep all sparks, open flames,

and smoking materials away
from the battery.
