Jump-Starting Procedures Due
to A Low Battery
WARNING!
Observe the following guidelines when
jump-starting the battery:
•
Take care to avoid the radiator cool-
ing fan whenever the hood is raised.
It can start anytime the ignition
switch is ON. Y ou can be hurt by the
fan.
•
Do not attempt to push or tow your
vehicle to get it started. Unburned
fuel could enter the catalytic con-
verter and once the engine has
started, ignite and damage the con-
verter and vehicle. If the vehicle has
a discharged battery , booster cables
may be used to obtain a start from
another vehicle. This type of start can
be dangerous if done improperly , so
follow this procedure carefully.

•
The battery used for boosting must
be 12 volts.
The following prevention measures
must be taken when jump starting the
vehicle:
• When boosting from a battery in an-
other vehicle, park that vehicle within
booster cable reach, but without al-
lowing the vehicles to touch.
• Set the parking brake.
• Place the manual transaxle in NEU-
TRAL.
• Turn off all unnecessary electrical
loads.
• Turn the ignition switch to LOCK for
both vehicles.
• Remove the protective cover over the
positive (+) battery post. Connect one
end of the jumper cable to the posi-
tive (+) battery post. Connect the
other end of the same cable to the
positive (+) booster battery post.
• Connect the other cable, first to the
negative (-) booster battery post and
then to the engine ground (-) of the
vehicle with the discharged battery.
Make sure you have a good connec-
tion on the engine ground.
• Start the engine in the vehicle that
has the booster battery, let the en-
gine idle for a few minutes, and then
start the engine in the vehicle with
the discharged battery.
• When removing the jumper cables,
reverse the sequence exactly. Be
careful of the moving belts and fan.
• Reinstall the protective cover over the
positive (+) battery post.
