Warning
Electric fans can start up even
when the engine is not running
and can cause injury. Keep
hands, clothing, and tools away
from any underhood electric fans.
Caution
Ignoring these steps could result
in costly damage to the vehicle
that would not be covered by the
vehicle warranty. Trying to start
the vehicle by pushing or pulling it
will not work, and it could damage
the vehicle.
Jump Starting the ELR
If the ELR will not start, the 12-volt
battery may be run down. To jump
start the ELR jumper cables are
connected directly to the positive (+)
and negative ( ) terminals on the
12-volt battery in the rear
cargo area.
1. Positive (+) Terminal
2. Negative ( ) Terminal
1. The other vehicle used to jump
start the ELR must have a
12-volt battery with a negative
ground system.

Vehicle Care
Caution
If the other vehicle does not have
a 12-volt system with a negative
ground, both vehicles can be
damaged. Only use a vehicle that
has a 12-volt system with a
negative ground for jump starting.
2. Park both vehicles close enough
so that the jumper cables can
reach both vehicles' positive (+)
and negative ( ) terminals. The
vehicles must not touch each
other. It could cause an
unwanted ground connection
that could damage both vehicles'
electrical systems.
Put both vehicles in P (Park) for
an automatic transmission or
electric drive unit. For a manual
transmission, place the vehicle
in Neutral and set the parking
brake.
