WARNING

Batteries can hurt you. They can
be dangerous because:

.

They contain acid that can
burn you.

.

They contain gas that can
explode or ignite.

.

They contain enough
electricity to burn you.

If you do not follow these steps
exactly, some or all of these
things can hurt you.

Notice:

Ignoring these steps

could result in costly damage to
the vehicle that would not be
covered by the warranty.

Trying to start the vehicle by
pushing or pulling it will not
work, and it could damage the
vehicle.

The jump start positive is located
under a trim cover in the engine
compartment on the driver side of
the vehicle.

1. Check the other vehicle. It must

have a 12-volt battery with a
negative ground system.

Notice:

Only use a vehicle that

has a 12-volt system with a
negative ground for jump
starting. If the other vehicle does
not have a 12-volt system with a
negative ground, both vehicles
can be damaged.

2. Position the two vehicles so that

they are not touching.

3. Set the parking brake firmly and

put the shift lever in P (Park).

Notice:

If any accessories are left

on or plugged in during the jump
starting procedure, they could be
damaged. The repairs would not
be covered by the vehicle
warranty. Whenever possible,
turn off or unplug all accessories
on either vehicle when jump
starting the vehicle.

4. Turn the ignition to LOCK/OFF

and switch off all lights and
accessories in both vehicles,
except the hazard warning
flashers if needed.
