To prevent damaging the vehicle

Do not pull- or push-start the vehicle, because the three-way catalytic con-

verter may overheat and become a fire hazard.

The exclusive jump starting terminal is to be used when charging the 12

volt battery from another vehicle in an emergency. It cannot be used to

jump start another vehicle.

When handling jumper cables

Be careful that the jumper cables do not become tangled in the cooling fan

or any of the belts when connecting or disconnecting them.
