JUMP-STARTING PROCEDURES

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.

NOTE: When using a portable battery booster pack

follow the manufacturer's operating instructions and

precautions.

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.

Do not attempt jump-starting if the battery is frozen.

It could rupture or explode and cause personal injury.

The battery in your vehicle is located in the front of the

engine compartment, behind the left headlight assembly.

NOTE: The positive battery post is covered with a

protective cap. Lift up on the cap to gain access to the

positive battery post.
