Preparations For Jump-Start
The battery in your vehicle is located under the passenger's
front seat. There are remote locations located under
the hood to assist in jump-starting.
Remote Battery Posts
1 - Remote Positive (+) Post (covered with protective cap)
2 - Remote Negative (-) 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 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.
|
NOTE: Be sure that the disconnected ends of the cables
do not touch while still connected to either vehicle.
- 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.
- Remove the protective cover over the remote positive
(+) battery post. Pull upward on the cover to remove
it.
- If using 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. |
