WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
• Do not attempt jump-starting if the battery is frozen. It could rupture or ex-
plode and cause personal injury.
• Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan whenever the hood is raised. It
can start anytime the ignition switch is on. You can be injured by moving fan
blades.
• Remove any metal jewelry such as watch bands or bracelets that might
make an inadvertent electrical contact. You could be seriously injured.
• Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can burn your skin or eyes and generate
hydrogen gas which is flammable and explosive. Keep open flames or
sparks away from the battery.
• Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a ground
connection and personal injury could result.
• Failure to follow this procedure could result in personal injury or property
damage due to battery explosion.
• Do not connect the cable to the negative post (-)
of the discharged battery. The resulting electrical spark could cause the bat-
tery to explode and could result in personal injury.
