JUMP-STARTING PROCEDURES

If your vehicle has a discharged battery it can be jump-started using a set of jumper cables
and a battery in another vehicle or by using a portable battery booster pack. Jump-starting
can be dangerous if done improperly so please follow the procedures in this section
carefully.
NOTE:
When using a portable battery booster pack follow the manufacturer's operating in-
structions and precautions.
Do not use a portable battery booster pack or any other booster source with a system
voltage greater than 12 Volts or damage to the battery, starter motor, alternator or
electrical system may occur.
Do not attempt jump-starting if the battery is frozen. It could rupture or explode and
cause personal injury.
Preparations For Jump-Start
The battery in your vehicle is located in the front of the engine compartment, behind the
left headlight assembly.
NOTE:
The positive battery post is covered with a protective cap. Lift up on the cap to gain
access to the positive battery post.
