reach, but be sure the vehicles aren’t touching each other.

ual transmission in the “N” (Neutral) position. Turn off
the ignition switch.

● Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-volt bat-
tery.
If the other system isn’t 12-volt, shorting can dam-
age both vehicles.
WARNING
!
● Turn off the ignition on both vehicles beforehand.
Make sure that the cables or your clothes cannot be
caught by the fan or drive belt. Personal injury
could result.

!
● If electrolyte fluid is not visible, or appears to be fro-
zen, Do Not Attempt Jump Starting!
A battery might rupture or explode if the tempera-
ture is below the freezing point or if it is not filled to
the proper level.
