WARNING!
(Continued)
• Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle
to get it started. Unburned fuel could enter
the catalytic converter and once the engine
has started, ignite and damage the con-
verter and vehicle. If the vehicle has a
discharged battery, booster cables may be
used to obtain a start from another vehicle.
This type of start can be dangerous if done
improperly, so follow this procedure care-
fully.
• Wear eye protection and remove any metal
jewelry such as watch bands or bracelets
that might make an inadvertent electrical
contact. You could be seriously injured.
NOTE:
The battery is located underneath an access
panel inside the rear compartment on the left
side of the vehicle. A remote battery terminal
is located in the engine compartment for
jump-starting.
Connecting The Jumper Cables
1. Wear eye protection and remove any metal
jewelry such as watchbands or bracelets that
might make an inadvertent electrical contact.
2. When boost is provided by a battery in
another vehicle, park that vehicle within
booster cable reach, but without allowing the
vehicles to touch one another.
3. Set the parking brake, place the transmission
in NEUTRAL, and turn the ignition OFF on
both vehicles.
4. Turn off the heater, radio, and all unneces-
sary electrical loads.
5. Remove the plastic fuse cover to gain access
to the remote jump-start positive (+) post in
the engine compartment. Refer to the follow-
ing illustration for remote jump-starting con-
nections.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these procedures could re-
sult in damage to the charging system of the
booster vehicle or the discharged vehicle.
6. Connect the positive (+) end of the jumper
cable to the remote positive (+) post of the
discharged vehicle.
7. Connect the opposite end of the positive (+)
jumper cable to the positive (+) post of the
booster battery.
