Jump-Start Procedure
WARNING!
• Stay clear of the radiator cooling fan
whenever the engine hood is raised.
It can start anytime the ignition
switch is on. You can be injured by
the moving fan blades.
• Remove any metal jewelry such as
watch bands or bracelets that might
make an inadvertent electrical
contact. You could be seriously
injured.
• Do not allow the vehicles involved
in the jumpstarting operation to
touch each other as this could
establish a ground connection and
cause personal injury.
• Turn off the heater, radio, and all
unnecessary electrical accessories.
• Set the parking brake, shift the
automatic transmission into P (Park)
and turn the ignition to OFF.
• If using another vehicle to jumpstart
the battery, park the vehicle within
the jumper cables reach and set the
parking brake and make sure the
ignition is OFF.

In an Emergency
