Batteries can hurt you. They can be
dangerous because:
•
They contain acid that can burn you.
•
They contain gas that can explode
or ignite.
•
They contain enough electricity to
burn you.
If you do not follow these steps exactly,
some or all of these things can hurt you.
Notice: Ignoring these steps could result in
costly damage to your vehicle that would
not be covered by your warranty.
Trying to start your vehicle by pushing or
pulling it will not work, and it could damage
your vehicle.

12-volt battery with a negative ground system.
