Information
Your vehicle has a battery in the trunk
compartment. However, when you
jump start your vehicle, use the
jumper terminal in the engine com-
partment.

Jump starting

Jump starting can be dangerous,
when incorrectly done. Therefore, to
avoid any harm to yourself or dam-
ages to the vehicle or battery, follow
the jump starting instructions. When
you do not fully understand the
instructions, we strongly recommend
to contact a competent technician or
to tow your vehicle for jump starting.
NOTICE
Use only a 12-volt jumper system.
The 12-volt starting motor, ignition
system, and other electrical parts
may be damaged when using a 24-
volt power supply. (There are two
types of jumper systems; a 12-volt
motor generator set or a 24-volt
motor generator set.)

- Battery
Never attempt to check the bat-
tery electrolyte level, as this
may disrupt or explode the bat-
tery, causing a serious injury.

- Battery
• Keep the battery away from
any flames or sparks. The bat-
tery produces hydrogen gas,
which may explode upon
being exposed to flame or
sparks. When you neglect this
warning, a serious personal
injury and vehicle damage
may occur! When you do not
fully
instructions, find the qualified
assistance. Your battery con-
tains sulfuric acids, which is
poisonous and highly corro-
sive. When jump starting,
wear protective glasses and
be careful not to expose those
acids to yourself, your cloth-
ing or even the vehicle itself.
• Do not attempt to jump start
the vehicle, when the dis-
charged battery is frozen or
when the electrolyte level is
low. This may disrupt or
explode the battery.
