jump-start positive battery post (+) in the engine com-
partment. Connect the other end of the same cable to the

the following illustration for jump-starting connections.
WARNING!
•
You should not try to start your vehicle by push-
ing or towing.
•
Do not connect the cable to the negative post of
the discharge battery. The resulting electrical
spark could cause the battery to explode.
•
During cold weather when temperatures are be-
low freezing point, electrolyte in a discharged
battery may freeze. Do not attempt jump-starting
because the battery could rupture or explode. The
battery temperature must be brought up above
freezing point before attempting jump-start.
7. Start the engine in the vehicle that has the booster
battery. Let the engine idle a few minutes. Then, start the
engine in the vehicle with the discharged battery.
NOTE:
For vehicles equipped with ESP, refer to ⬙Syn-
chronizing ESP⬙ under ⬙Electronic Stability Program⬙ in
Section 5 of this manual if the ESP/BAS light (in the
instrument cluster) remains on continuously after start-
ing the engine of the vehicle with the discharged battery.
