JUMP STARTING

JUMP STARTING WITH AN AUXILIARY
(BOOSTER) BATTERY
CAUTION:
Never push or tow the vehicle in an attempt to start it.
Serious damage to the emission system as well as
other vehicle parts will result.
Treat both the discharged battery and the booster
battery with great care when using jumper cables.
Carefully follow the jump starting procedure, being
careful at all times to avoid sparking.
WARNING:
Failure to carefully follow the jump starting procedure
could result in the following:
1. Serious personal injury, particularly to your eyes.
2. Property damage from a battery explosion, battery
acid, or an electrical fire.
3. Damage to the electronic components of one or
both vehicles particularly.
Never expose the battery to an open flame or
electrical spark. Gas generated by the battery may
catch fire or explode.
Remove any rings, watches, or other jewelry before
working around the battery. Protect your eyes by
wearing an approved set of goggles.
Never allow battery fluid to come in contact with your
eyes or skin.
Never allow battery fluid to come in contact with
fabrics or painted surfaces.
Battery fluid is a highly corrosive acid.
Should battery fluid come in contact with your eyes,
skin, fabric, or a painted surface, immediately and
thoroughly rinse the affected area with clean tap
water.
Never allow metal tools or jumper cables to come in
contact with the positive battery terminal, or any other
metal surface of the vehicle. This will protect against
a short circuit.
Always keep batteries out of the reach of young
children.
