cle’s battery is discharged.

cle with a 12 volt battery, you can jump start your Toyota following
the steps below.

If required, remove all vent plugs from the booster battery. Lay a
cloth over the open vents on the booster battery. (This helps
reduce the explosion hazard, personal injuries and burns.)
