12 volt type. If the booster battery is
installed in another vehicle, ensure
that the two vehicles are not touch-
ing.
2. Turn off all unnecessary electrical
equipment in both vehicles.
3. Ensure that the engine of the ve-
hicle providing the jump start is run-
ning prior to connection of the jump
cables.

positive (+) terminal of the booster
battery and the other end to the
positive (+) terminal of the dis-
charged battery.

negative
(-) terminal of the
booster battery, and the other end
to a ground point within the engine
compartment of the vehicle with the

negative battery terminal of the flat
battery since sparks may be gener-
ated with the subsequent risk of
explosion.

IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS

SD040A2-E
If the temperature gauge indicates
overheating:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as
it is safe to do so.
2. Place the gear selector lever in "P"
(automatic), or neutral (manual
transaxle) and set the parking brake.
If the air conditioning is on, turn it off.
3. If coolant is running out under the
car or steam is coming out from
under the bonnet stop the engine.
Do not open the bonnet until the
coolant has stopped running or the
steaming has stopped. If there is no
visible loss of coolant and no steam,
leave the engine running and check
to be sure the engine cooling fan is
operating.
If the fan is not running, turn the
engine off.
4. Check to see if the water pump drive
belt is broken. If it is not missing,
check to see that it is tight. If the
drive belt seems to be satisfac-tory,
check for coolant leaking from the
radiator, hoses or under the car. (If
the air conditioning had been in use,
it is normal for cold water to be
draining from it).
