WARNING!

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 seriously 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.

1. Set the parking brake, shift the automatic transmission

into PARK and turn the ignition to LOCK.

2. Turn off the heater, radio, and all unnecessary electri-

cal accessories.

3. If using another vehicle to jump-start the battery, park

the vehicle within the jumper cables reach, set the
parking brake and make sure the ignition is OFF.

WARNING!

Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this
could establish a ground connection and personal
injury could result.
