WARNING! (Continued)
• Do not use a booster battery or any other booster
source that has a greater than 12 Volt system, i.e.,
do not use a 24 Volt power source.
• The battery in this vehicle has a vent hose that
should not be disconnected and should only be
replaced with a battery of the same type (vented).
NOTE: The battery is stored under an access cover in
the trunk. Remote battery terminals are located in the
engine compartment for jump-starting.

inadvertent electrical contact.

vehicle, park that vehicle within booster cable reach, but
do not allow the vehicles to touch one another.

could establish a ground connection and personal
injury could result.
3. Set the parking brake, place the automatic transmis-
sion in PARK, and place the ignition to the OFF/ LOCK
position on both vehicles.
4. Turn off the heater, radio, and all unnecessary electri-

jump-start positive battery post (+) in the engine com-
