JUMP STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

The gases around the battery can explode if exposed to flames,

sparks, or lit cigarettes. An explosion could result in injury or

vehicle damage.

Do not push start your vehicle. You could damage the catalytic

converter.

Batteries contain sulfuric acid which can burn skin, eyes, and

clothing, if contacted.

Do not attempt to push start your vehicle. Automatic

transmissions do not have push-start capability.

Preparing your vehicle

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

2. Do not disconnect the battery of the disabled vehicle as this could

damage the vehicle’s electrical system.

3. 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.

4. Check all battery terminals and remove any excessive corrosion before

you attach the battery cables. Ensure that vent caps are tight and level.
