Jump-Starting

Jump-starting is dangerous if done incorrectly. So follow the procedure carefully. If

you feel unsure about jump-starting, we strongly recommend that you have a

competent service technician do the work.

WARNING

 Follow These Precautions Carefully:

To ensure safe and correct handling of the battery, read the following precautions

carefully before using the battery or inspecting it.

 Keep 

fl

ames and sparks away from open battery cells and do not allow

metal tools to contact the positive (+) or negative (–) terminal of the battery when

working near a battery. Do not allow the positive (+) terminal to contact the

vehicle body:

Flames and sparks near open battery cells are dangerous. Hydrogen gas, produced

during normal battery operation, could ignite and cause the battery to explode. An

exploding battery can cause serious burns and injuries. Keep all 

fl

ames including

cigarettes and sparks away from open battery cells.

 Keep all
