Caution
If the other vehicle does not have a
12-volt system with a negative ground,
both vehicles can be damaged. Only use
a vehicle that has a 12-volt system with a
negative ground for jump starting.
2. Position the two vehicles so that they
are not touching.
3. Set the parking brake and put the shift
lever in P (Park). See Shifting Into Park.
Caution
If any accessories are left on or plugged

they could be damaged. The repairs

warranty. Whenever possible, turn off or
unplug all accessories on either vehicle
when jump starting.

and accessories in both vehicles, except
the hazard warning flashers if needed.
Warning
An electric fan can start up even when
the propulsion system is not operating
and can injure you. Keep hands, clothing
and tools away from any underhood
electric fan.
Warning
Using a match near a battery can cause
battery gas to explode. People have been
hurt doing this, and some have been
blinded. Use a flashlight if you need
more light.
Battery fluid contains acid that can burn
you. Do not get it on you. If you
accidentally get it in your eyes or on
