Vehicle Care 9-75

Be sure to use the following steps to

do it safely. Ignoring these steps

could result in costly damage to the

vehicle that would not be covered

by the warranty.

Trying to start the vehicle by

pushing or pulling it will not work,

and it could damage the vehicle.

Notice: If you leave the radio or

other accessories on during the

jump starting procedure, they

could be damaged. The repairs

would not be covered by the

warranty. Always turn off the

radio and other accessories when

jump starting the vehicle.

Notice: If the jumper cables are

connected or removed in the

wrong order, electrical shorting

may occur and damage the

vehicle. The repairs would not be

covered by the vehicle warranty.

Always connect and remove the

jumper cables in the correct

order, making sure that the

cables do not touch each other or

other metal.

1. The vehicle used to jump start

must have 12-volt battery with a

negative ground.

Notice: If the other vehicle's

system is not a 12-volt system

with a negative ground, both

vehicles can be damaged. Only

use vehicles with 12-volt systems

with negative grounds to jump

start your vehicle.

2. The vehicles should be close

enough for the jumper cables to

reach, but the vehicles should

not be touching. Touching could

cause grounding and possible

electrical system damage.

Put both vehicles in P (Park)

and set the parking brake firmly.

3. Unplug accessories plugged into

the cigarette lighter or the

accessory power outlet. Turn off

the radio and all lamps that are

not needed. Turn off the ignition

on both vehicles.
