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 instructions and
precautions.

Do not use a portable battery booster pack or any
other booster source with a system voltage greater

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.

under the hood, in the engine compartment on the
