JUMP-START PROCEDURES:
NOTE: These vehicles may not have enough 12v battery power to unlock the doors or open the hood using the
touchscreen. If this occurs, refer to the HOOD RELEASE section on page 5 to access the 12v battery.
The following jump-starting procedures should be followed for all models:
• Follow all normal jump-starting precautions as outlined in other AAA/CAA publications.
• Ensure that all electrical accessories and the ignition are turned OFF and the electronic key is removed
from the vehicle and stored at least 15 feet away from the vehicle before connecting jumper cables or a
jumper box.
