locations located under the hood to assist in jump-starting.

an inadvertent electrical contact. Y ou 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.

either vehicle.
