STARTING AND STOPPING PROCEDURES
Warning: Wear eye protection and remove
rings, metal jewellery and watches with metal
bands.
Warning: The battery could rupture or explode
if jump started when the run-down battery fluid is
frozen or if the battery fluid level is low. Check
condition of run-down battery before attempting
to jump start.
Warning: The gases given off by batteries while
jump starting are explosive. Do not smoke near
batteries.
Caution: Do not let the two vehicles touch.
Keep a walk-through distance between the two
vehicles. Make sure positive (red) and negative
(black) jumper cable clamps do not touch.
Caution: Never connect the jumper cable to
the negative terminal post of the run-down
battery.
Caution: Do not jump start if a maintenance-
free battery has a yellow test indicator. Have
the battery replaced.
Caution: Before attempting to jump start, make
sure the parking brake is applied and the
transmission is in neutral (N). Turn off all lights,
heaters and other electrical accessories.
To jump start, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the protective caps from the
booster block terminals located in the R.H.
siew engine compartment;
2. Connect one end of the red jumper cable to
the positive (+) post of the booster power
source. If the good battery is in another
vehicle, that vehicle's engine must be shut
OFF before connecting;
3. Connect the other end of the same red
jumper cable to the positive (+) terminal on
the booster block;
4. Connect one end of the black jumper cable
to the negative (-) post on the booster power
source;
5. Connect the other end of the same black
jumper cable to the negative (-) terminal on
the booster block; If the good battery is in
another vehicle, start that vehicle's engine;
6. Let the engine run for a few minutes, then
start the vehicle with the run-down battery;
7. Disconnect the jumper cables in reverse
order given in steps 2 through 5;
8. Install protective caps on the booster block
terminals.
Note: Jumper cables must be rated at 500
cranking amperes. If jumper cable length is 20
feet (6 m) or less, use 2/0 (AWG) gauge wires. If
cable length is between 20 to 30 feet (6 to 9 m),
use 3/0 (AWG) gauge wires.
