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!
Do not attempt jump-starting if the battery is frozen. It could rupture or explode and cause
personal injury.
Preparations For Jump-Start
The battery in your vehicle is located on the left
side of the engine compartment.
