Jump-Starting Your Vehicle

Your vehicle's battery may die if you leave the lights on or any
electrical equipment on after you turn the engine off. If this
happens, you may be able to jump-start your vehicle with a
booster battery.
The gases around the battery can explode if exposed to
flames, sparks, or lit cigarettes. An explosion could result
in injury or vehicle damage.
To protect yourself when charging a battery, always
shield your face and eyes. Make sure that you can
breathe fresh air.
Applying too much pressure on the ends when lifting a
battery could cause acid to spill. Lift the battery with a
carrier or with your hands on the opposite corners.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid which burns skin, eyes,
and clothing.
