STARTING THE VEHICLE WITH A
DISCHARGED BATTERY
A
WARNING.A.
The vehicle is equipped with a starter/generator. When
starting the engine, the starter/generator functions as a
starter and with the engine running, it functions as a gen­
erator.
With the running times associated with this kind of vehi­
cle, the generator is more than adequate to maintain the
battery charge level. The generator is not designed to
charge a discharged battery.
Since the engine stops when the accelerator is released,
jump starting should not be attempted.
If the vehicle is equipped with lights and/or accessories
that are used when the vehicle is not in motion, the
starter/generator may not be adequate to maintain bat­
tery charge. In this situation, the battery may require
charging with a 12V 1 0 amp max charger.
Observe all instructions provided by the manufacturer of
the charger.
Do not attempt to 'jump
start' a vehicle using
another vehicle.
