WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
•
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 rings, watch bands and bracelets that could
make an inadvertent electrical contact. You could be seriously injured.
•
Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can burn your skin or eyes and generate hydro-
gen gas which is flammable and explosive. Keep open flames or sparks away from
the battery.
1. Apply the parking brake, place the transmission to PARK and turn the ignition to OFF.
2. Turn off the heater, radio and all unnecessary electrical accessories.
3. Remove the protective cover over the remote positive (+) battery post. To remove
the cover, pull upward on the cover.
4. If using another vehicle to jump start the battery, park the vehicle within the jumper
cables reach, set the parking brake and make sure the ignition is OFF.
Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a ground connection
and personal injury could result.
Jump Starting Procedure

erty damage due to battery explosion.
