WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
Proceed as follows:
1. Set the Electric Park Brake, shift the automatic transmission into PARK (manual trans-
mission in NEUTRAL) and place the ignition OFF.
2. Turn off the heater, radio, and all unnecessary electrical accessories.
3. If using another vehicle to jump start the battery, park the vehicle within the jumper
cables reach, set the parking brake and make sure the ignition is OFF.
Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a ground connection
and personal injury could result.

erty damage due to battery explosion.
Failure to follow these procedures could result in damage to the charging system of the
booster vehicle or the discharged vehicle.

charged vehicle.
