.

If the battery has run down, try to
use another vehicle and some
jumper cables to start your vehicle.
Be sure to use the following steps to
do it safely.

{

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 under a
trim cover in the engine
compartment on the driver side of
the vehicle.

The jump start negative grounding
point for the discharged battery is
the engine block or an engine
mounting bolt. Connect to a spot as
far away from the discharge battery
as possible.

These locations are used instead of
a direct connection to the battery.

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.
