WARNING!
Do not connect the jumper cable to the negative (-)
post of the discharged battery. The resulting electrical
spark could cause the battery to explode and could
result in personal injury.
5. Start the engine in the vehicle that has the booster
battery, let the engine idle a few minutes, and then
start the engine in the vehicle with the discharged
battery.
CAUTION!
Do not connect jumper cable to any of the fuses on
the positive battery terminal. The resulting electrical
current will blow the fuse.
6. Once the engine is started, see the following discon-
nection procedure.
Disconnecting The Jumper Cables
1. Disconnect the negative (-) end of the jumper cable
from the engine ground of the vehicle with the dis-
charged battery.
2. Disconnect the opposite end of the negative (-)
jumper cable from the negative (-) post of the
booster battery.
3. Disconnect the positive (+) end of the jumper cable
from the positive (+) post of the booster battery.
4. Disconnect the opposite end of the positive (+)
jumper cable from the positive (+) post of the
vehicle with the discharged battery, and reinstall the
protective cap over the positive (+) post.
If frequent jump starting is required to start your vehicle
you should have the battery and charging system
inspected at an authorized dealer.
CAUTION!
Accessories plugged into the vehicle power outlets
draw power from the vehicle’s battery, even when not
in use (i.e., cellular devices, etc.). Eventually, if
plugged in long enough without engine operation, the
vehicle’s battery will discharge sufficiently to degrade
battery life and/or prevent the engine from starting.
MANUAL PARK RELEASE
8-SPEED TRANSMISSION
In order to push or tow the vehicle in cases where the
transmission will not shift out of PARK (such as a
depleted battery), a Manual Park Release is available.
WARNING!
Always secure your vehicle by fully applying the park-
ing brake before activating the Manual Park Release.
In addition, you should be seated in the driver’s seat
with your foot firmly on the brake pedal when activat-
ing the Manual Park Release. Activating the Manual
Park Release will allow your vehicle to roll away if it is
not secured by the parking brake, or by proper con-
nection to a tow vehicle. Activating the Manual Park
Release on an unsecured vehicle could lead to seri-
ous injury or death for those in or around the vehicle.
See the following steps to use the Manual Park
Release:
1. Firmly apply the parking brake.
2. Using a small screwdriver or similar tool, remove the
Manual Park Release access cover, which is just
above the parking brake release handle, below and
to the left of the steering column.
3. Using the screwdriver or similar tool, push the
Manual Park Release lever locking tab (just below
the middle of the lever) to the right.
4. While holding the locking tab in the disengaged
position, pull the tether strap to rotate the lever rear-
ward, until it locks in place pointing towards the driv-
er's seat. Release the locking tab and verify that the
Manual Park Release lever is locked in the released
position.
