JUMP STARTING

To start your engine with a booster battery, the instructions and precautions below must be followed.

WARNING

￿If done incorrectly, jump starting can lead to a battery explosion, resulting in severe injury or death. It could also damage your vehicle.

￿Explosive hydrogen gas is always present in the vicinity of the battery. Keep all sparks and flames away from the battery.

￿Do not allow battery fluid to come into contact with eyes, skin, clothing or painted surfaces. Battery fluid is a corrosive sulfuric acid solution which can cause severe burns. If the fluid should come into contact with any- thing, immediately flush the con- tacted area with water.

￿Keep battery out of the reach of chil- dren.

￿The booster battery must be rated at

12 volts. Use of an improperly rated battery can damage your vehicle.

￿Whenever working on or near a bat- tery, always wear suitable eye protec- tors (for example, goggles or indus- trial safety spectacles) and remove rings, metal bands, or any other jew- elry. Do not lean over the battery when jump starting.

￿Do not attempt to jump start a frozen battery. It could explode and cause serious injury.
