Jump Starting Procedure

1

If the Battery Is Dead

Securely attach the jumper cables clips so that they 
do not come off when the engine vibrates. Also, be 
careful not to tangle the jumper cables or allow the 
cable ends to touch each other while attaching or 
detaching the jumper cables.

Battery performance degrades in cold conditions and 
may prevent the engine from starting.

WARNING

the correct procedure, seriously injuring

Keep all sparks, open flames, and smoking 
materials away from the battery.
