IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
WARNING
• Check the battery fluid level before connecting the jumper cables. Usage or
charging of the battery when the battery fluid is below the lower level line can
accelerate deterioration, and give rise to dangerous situations such as the
generation of heat and may even cause an explosion. Perform the work after
adding the battery fluid.
• A vehicle battery generates flammable gas that could explode. Be careful of the
following to avoid creating sparks.
- Do not connect one end of the jumper cable shown in step 4 in the drawing
directly to the battery's negative terminal. Connect the jumper cable to a metal
part of the engine that is away from the battery.
- Do not let the cable connected to the positive terminal come in contact with
the cable connected to the negative terminal or the body.
- Keep flames away from the battery.
• Be careful not to become entangled in any belts when connecting and removing
the cables.
3. Connect the jumper cables in the numbered sequence in the drawing.
4. After connecting the cables, start the engine of the vehicle with the booster
battery. Slightly rev up the engine of the vehicle with the booster battery and start
the engine of the disabled vehicle.
5. If the engine in the disabled vehicle starts, remove the jumper cables in the
reverse sequence as they were connected.
