Do not attempt to push start your vehicle. Automatic
transmissions do not have push-start capability.

Preparing your vehicle

When the battery is disconnected or a new battery is installed, the
transmission must relearn its adaptive strategy. As a result of this, the
transmission may shift firmly. This operation is considered normal and
will not effect function or durability of the transmission. Over time, the
adaptive learning process will fully update transmission operation to its
optimum shift feel.

Use only a 12–volt supply to start your vehicle.

Do not disconnect the battery of the disabled vehicle as this could
damage the vehicle’s electrical system.

Park the booster vehicle close to the hood of the disabled vehicle
making sure the two vehicles

do not

touch. Set the parking brake on

both vehicles and stay clear of the engine cooling fan and other
moving parts.

Check all battery terminals and remove any excessive corrosion before
you attach the battery cables. Ensure that vent caps are tight and
level.

Turn the heater fan on in both vehicles to protect any electrical
surges. Turn all other accessories off.
