CAUTION!

(Continued)

Volts or damage to the battery, starter motor, alternator
or electrical system may occur.

NOTE:

When using a portable battery booster pack, follow

the manufacturer’s operating instructions and precautions.

Preparations For Jump Start

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

engine compartment, behind the Power Distribution Cen-

ter.

WARNING!

Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan whenever
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. Apply the parking brake, shift the automatic transmis-

sion into PARK (manual transmission in NEUTRAL)

and turn the ignition to LOCK.

2. Turn off the heater, radio, and all unnecessary electrical

accessories.

3. If using another vehicle to jump start the battery, park

the vehicle within the jumper cables reach, apply the

parking brake and make sure the ignition is OFF.
