Also, ensure that vehicle is secured to
prevent unintentional movement during and
after moving the vehicle. If the external 12V
power becomes disconnected from the
vehicle jump posts or there is an interruption
of the 12V power while moving the vehicle,
the vehicle's transmission may engage PARK.
When the vehicle is at the charging location,
shift the transmission back to PARK, apply
the electric park brake, and start the high
voltage battery charging. Once the vehicle
has been secured against unintentional
movement and high voltage battery charging
has been initiated, the jumper cables can be
removed from the vehicle jump posts.
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 instruc-
tions and precautions.
WARNING!
Do not attempt jump starting if the battery
is frozen. It could rupture or explode and
cause personal injury.
