WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES 237

JUMP-STARTING

You should not try to start your vehicle by pushing or
towing. Pushing or towing a vehicle equipped with a
manual transmission may overheat and damage the
catalytic converter. Also, there is a greater risk of an
accident when a vehicle is being pushed or towed. If the
vehicle has a discharged battery, booster cables may be
used to obtain a start from a booster battery or the battery
in another vehicle. This type of start can be dangerous if
done improperly, so follow this procedure carefully.
