Preparations For Jump-Start

The battery in your vehicle is located in the right rear of

the engine compartment, behind the Power Distribution

Positive Battery Post

• Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan when-

ever the hood is raised. It can start anytime the

ignition switch is ON. You can be injured by

moving fan blades.

• 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 hydrogen gas which is

flammable and explosive. Keep open flames or

sparks away from the battery.

1. Set the parking brake, shift the automatic transmission

into PARK (manual transmission in NEUTRAL) and

turn the ignition to LOCK.

2. Turn off the heater, radio, and all unnecessary electri-

cal accessories.
