If the vehicle is started, the
on-board jump start function will be
automatically disabled. If the vehicle
cranks but does not start, the
procedure may be repeated again.
If the vehicle start is still
unsuccessful, the jump start can be
attempted using the following jump
starting procedure under Jump
Starting (with or without eAssist).
On-board jump starting may be
unavailable due to the 12-volt
battery charge level, the eAssist
battery charge level, power
capability, or an issue with the
eAssist system. In these cases, the
display will not be available because
of the power issue, or the DIC will
display JUMP START DISABLED
