Do not attempt to push-start your
automatic transmission vehicle.
Automatic transmissions do not have
push-start capability. Attempting to
push-start a vehicle with an
automatic transmission may cause
transmission damage.
Preparing Your Vehicle
Note: Use only a 12-volt supply to start
your vehicle.
Note: Do not disconnect the battery
of the disabled vehicle as this could
damage the vehicle's electrical system.
1. Park the booster vehicle close to
the hood of the disabled vehicle
making sure the two vehicles do
not touch. Set the parking brake
on both vehicles and stay clear of
the engine cooling fan and other
moving parts.
Roadside Emergencies
2. Check all battery terminals and
remove any excessive corrosion
before you attach the battery
cables. Ensure that vent caps are
tight and level.
3. Turn the heater fan on in both
vehicles to protect from any
electrical surges. Turn all other
accessories off.
Connecting the Jumper Cables
Your vehicle has a 12 volt battery that
has two prongs accessible from under
the hood. Your vehicle can be jumped
the same way conventional vehicles
can be using these prongs. The
illustration below shows the two
connector prongs used for
jump-starting your vehicle.
