To jump start your vehicle,
follow these steps:
CAUTION
Vehicle batteries can hurt you.
They contain acid and electrici-
ty that can burn and gas that
can explode or ignite. Use care
and follow any applicable
instructions when working near
a battery.
NOTICE
Ignoring these steps could
result in costly damage to your
vehicle.
The repairs would not be
covered by your warranty.
1. Get the vehicles close enough
so the jumper cables can
reach. Be sure the vehicles
aren't touching each other.
2. To ensure that the vehicles do
not roll, set the parking brake
firmly on both vehicles
involved in the jump starting
procedure.
Shift an automatic transmis-
sion into P (Park) and a manual
transmission into N (Neutral)
before setting the parking
brake.
- Note:
Make sure that the transfer
case is in a drive gear and not
in N (Neutral). Otherwise,
the vehicle will be free to
roll even if the automatic
transmission is in P (Park) or
the manual transmission is in
gear.
Section 5
3. Turn off the ignition on both
vehicles. Turn off the radios
and all lights that aren't
needed.
Unplug any accessories that
are plugged into the cigarette
lighter or the accessory power
outlets.
NOTICE
If you leave the radio or other
accessories on, they could be
badly damaged.
The repairs would not be
covered by your warranty.
