This message indicates that the vehicle is in "Jump
Assist" mode, and can be charged by following the
"Jump Assist" procedure. You will have approximately
15 minutes to connect a 12 Volt battery charger and begin
charging the system. If you are unable to connect a 12
Volt battery charger within 15 minutes, turn the ignition
key to the START position to re-initiate "Jump Assist"
mode.
NOTE:
• Depending on the high voltage battery's state of
charge, it may take up to 60 minutes for the system to
become adequately charged to start the engine.
• There are remote battery posts located under the hood
that are used to assist in the "Jump Assist" procedure.
• A second running vehicle may be used in this "Jump
Assist" procedure provided the generator output is a
minimum of 125 amps.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES 69
WARNING!
• A battery generates hydrogen gas which is flam-
mable and explosive. Keep flame or spark away
from the vent holes. DO NOT use a booster battery
or any other booster source with a nominal voltage
output that exceeds 12 Volts.
• Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution; do not
allow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin or cloth-
ing. If acid splashes in eyes or on skin, flush the
contaminated area immediately with large quanti-
ties of water.
NOTE:
• A 12 Volt battery charger with a minimum 30 Amp
rating is the only type recommended to use when
charging the high voltage battery.
