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

procedures in this section carefully.

NOTE: When using a portable battery booster pack follow the manufacturer’s
operating instructions and precautions.

CAUTION!

Do not use a portable battery booster pack or any other booster source with a
system voltage greater than 12 Volts or damage to the battery, starter motor,
alternator or electrical system may occur.

WARNING!

When temperatures are below the freezing point, electrolyte in a discharged
battery may freeze. Do not attempt jump-starting because the battery could
rupture or explode and cause personal injury. Battery temperature must be
brought above the freezing point before attempting a jump-start.
