CAUTION!

Do not use a portable battery booster pack or any other booster source with a system

voltage greater than 12 Volts or damage to the battery, starter motor, alternator or

electrical system may occur.

WARNING!

When temperatures are below the freezing point, electrolyte in a discharged battery

may freeze. Do not attempt jump-starting because the battery could rupture or

explode and cause personal injury. Battery temperature must be brought above the

freezing point before attempting a jump-start.

Preparations for Jump-Start

• The battery in your vehicle is located in the front of the engine compartment, behind

the left headlight assembly.

NOTE: The positive battery post is covered with a protective cap. Lift up on the cap to

gain access to the positive battery post.

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 watch bands or bracelets, that might 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.

• Set the parking brake, shift the automatic transmission into PARK and turn the ignition

to LOCK.

• Turn off the heater, radio, and all unnecessary electrical accessories.

• If using a another vehicle to jump-start the battery, park the vehicle within the jumper

cables reach, set the parking brake and make sure the ignition is OFF.

WARNING!

Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a ground connection

and personal injury could result.
