Emergency starting
When the vehicle will not start
because of low battery power, you
may need to jump start the vehicle.
Jump-starting
Connect cables in numerical order
and disconnect in reverse order.
Jump-starting can be dangerous if
done incorrectly. Therefore, to avoid
harm to yourself or damage to your
vehicle or battery, follow these
jump-starting procedures. If in
doubt, we strongly recommend that
you have a competent technician or
towing service jump-start your
vehicle.
Battery
Never attempt to check the electro
-
lyte level of the battery as this may
cause the battery to rupture or
explode.
Frozen batteries
Do not attempt to jump start the
vehicle if the discharged battery is
frozen as the battery may rupture
or explode.
Battery
Keep all flames or sparks away from
the battery. The battery produces
hydrogen gas which will explode if
exposed to flame or sparks.
Battery cables
Do not connect the jumper cable
from the negative terminal of the
booster battery to the negative ter
-
minal of the discharged battery,
directly. This can cause the dis
-
charged battery to overheat and
crack, degradation.
Make sure to connect one end of the
jumper cable to the negative termi
-
nal of the booster battery, and the
other end to a metallic point, far
away from the battery.
