JUMP-STARTING

The vehicle requires its 12V battery power to turn-on the
vehicle's high voltage battery. The high voltage battery is
used to charge the 12V battery, provide electric vehicle
operation, and to start the vehicle's gas engine. If the 12V
battery has been discharged, the vehicle can be jump-
started using a set of jumper cables and a battery in
another vehicle or by using a portable battery booster pack.
If the vehicle's high voltage battery has also been dis-
charged, it will need to be recharged before the vehicle can
be started:
• If the vehicle can be connected to a Level 1 or Level 2
charger where it is currently parked, the vehicle will still
require a jump-start to allow the vehicle to begin the
battery charging process. Once the vehicle charging has
begun (indicated by the charge status indicator on top
the vehicle's instrument panel), the jumper cables can be
removed from the vehicle jump posts.
• If the vehicle cannot be connected to a Level 1 or Level
2 charger where it is currently parked, the vehicle can be
moved by connecting 12V power to the vehicle's jump
posts and then shifting the transmission from PARK
into NEUTRAL. Power provided by the jumper cables
will also allow the electric park brake to be released.
