the vehicle has been lowered. Failure to follow this warning may result in serious injury.
3. Lower the vehicle to the ground by turning the jack handle counterclockwise.
4. Refer to "Torque Specifications" in the Owners Manual on the DVD for proper wheel
lug nut torque.
5. After 25 miles (40 km) check the lug nut torque with a torque wrench to ensure that
all lug nuts are properly seated against the wheel.

JUMP-STARTING

If your vehicle has a discharged battery it can be jump-started using a set of jumper cables
and a battery in another vehicle or by using a portable battery booster pack. Jump-starting
can be dangerous if done improperly so please follow the procedures in this section
carefully.
NOTE:
When using a portable battery booster pack follow the manufacturer's operating instruc-
tions and precautions.
Do not use a portable battery booster pack or any other booster source with a system
voltage greater than 12 Volts or damage to the battery, starter motor, alternator or
electrical system may occur.
Do not attempt jump-starting if the battery is frozen. It could rupture or explode and
cause personal injury.
