the vehicle. Always stow the jack parts and the
spare tire in the places provided. Have the

JUMP STARTING

If your vehicle has a discharged battery, it can be
jump started using a set of jumper cables and a
battery in another vehicle, or by using a portable
battery booster pack. Jump starting can be
dangerous if done improperly, so please follow the
procedures in this section carefully.
WARNING!
Do not attempt jump starting if the battery is
frozen. It could rupture or explode and cause
personal injury.
CAUTION!
Do not use a portable battery booster pack or
any other booster source with a system voltage
greater than 12 Volts or damage to the battery,
starter motor, alternator or electrical system may
occur.

REPARATIONS OR UMP
The battery in your vehicle is located in the front of
the engine compartment, behind the left headlight
assembly.
WARNING!
Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this
could establish a ground connection and
personal injury could result.
See the following steps to prepare for jump
starting:
1. Apply the parking brake, shift the automatic
transmission into PARK (P) and turn the
ignition to OFF.
2. Turn off the heater, radio, and all electrical
accessories.
3. Pull upward and remove the protective cover over
the positive (+) battery post.
4. If using another vehicle to jump start the battery,
park the vehicle within the jumper cables reach, set
the parking brake and make sure the ignition is OFF.
 Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as
this could establish a ground connection and
personal injury could result.
TARTING
 Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan
whenever the hood is raised. It can start
anytime the ignition switch is ON. You can be
injured by moving fan blades.
 Remove any metal jewelry such as rings, watch
bands and bracelets that could make an inad-
vertent electrical contact. You could be seri-
ously injured.
 Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can burn
your skin or eyes and generate hydrogen gas
which is flammable and explosive. Keep open
flames or sparks away from the battery.
