WARNING! (Continued)
• Remove any metal jewelry such as rings,
watch bands and bracelets that could
make an inadvertent electrical contact.
You could be seriously injured.
• Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can
burn your skin or eyes and generate hy-
drogen gas which is flammable and explo-
sive. Keep open flames or sparks away
from the battery.
NOTE:
Be sure that the disconnected ends of the
cables do not touch while still connected to
the other vehicle.
1. Set the parking brake, shift the automatic
transmission into PARK and turn the ignition to
LOCK.
2. Turn off the heater, radio, and all unneces-
sary electrical accessories.
3. Remove the protective cover over the re-
mote positive (+) battery post. Pull upward on
