WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

JUMP-STARTING

Any procedure other than the following could result in:
• Personal injury caused by electrolyte squirting out the battery vent,
• Personal injury or property damage due to battery explosion,
• Damage to the charging system of the booster vehicle or of the immobilized
vehicle.
• Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan whenever the hood is raised. It can
start anytime the ignition switch is ON. You can be hurt by the fan.
• Remove any metal jewelry, such as watch bands or bracelets, that might make an
inadvertent electrical contact. You could be seriously injured.
• Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution; do not allow battery fluid to contact
eyes, skin or clothing. Do not lean over a battery when attaching clamps or allow
the clamps to touch each other. If acid splashes in your eyes or on skin, flush the
contaminated area immediately with large quantities of water.
