Jump Starting - HOLDEN MY18 TJ Trax Owner's Manual

210 Vehicle care
Warning
As soon as possible after
changing a wheel, have the wheel
nuts tightened with a torque
wrench to 140 Nm (Newton
metres). Wheel nuts must be
tightened evenly to the correct
torque, as wheel nuts which
have not been tightened properly
could eventually allow the wheel
to come off while the vehicle is
moving.

Jump starting

Read the following warnings and
procedure in full before attempting to
jump start the vehicle.
If you are still unsure about
jump starting, Holden strongly
recommends for your safety and
that of the vehicle that you seek
the assistance of a suitably trained
service technician.
Warning
Do not push start or tow start
the vehicle. If unburnt fuel were
to reach the catalytic converter
and ignite, the converter could
overheat or be destroyed by
backfire. Therefore, if the battery
is flat, jump start, but do not push
start the vehicle.
Batteries produce explosive
gases, contain corrosive acids
and supply levels of electrical
current high enough to cause
burns. Therefore, adhere to the
following when working near a
battery:
• Do not attempt jump starting
directly from the battery in the
engine compartment.
• Do not let the jumper lead
clamps touch each other or
other metal parts.
• Do not allow the jumper leads
to contact any rotating engine
components.
