SERVICE PROCEDURES

JUMP STARTING PROCEDURE

WARNING: REVIEW ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
AND WARNINGS IN BATTERY/STARTING/CHARG-
ING SECTIONS. DO NOT JUMP START A FROZEN
BATTERY, PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT. DO
NOT JUMP START WHEN MAINTENANCE FREE
BATTERY INDICATOR DOT IS YELLOW OR BRIGHT
COLOR. DO NOT JUMP START A VEHICLE WHEN
THE BATTERY FLUID IS BELOW THE TOP OF LEAD
PLATES.

DO

NOT

ALLOW

JUMPER

CABLE

CLAMPS TO TOUCH EACH OTHER WHEN CON-
NECTED TO A BOOSTER SOURCE. DO NOT USE
OPEN FLAME NEAR BATTERY. REMOVE METALLIC
JEWELRY WORN ON HANDS OR WRISTS TO AVOID
INJURY BY ACCIDENTAL ARCING OF BATTERY
CURRENT. WHEN USING A HIGH OUTPUT BOOST-
ING DEVICE, DO NOT ALLOW BATTERY VOLTAGE
TO EXCEED 16 VOLTS. REFER TO INSTRUCTIONS
PROVIDED WITH DEVICE BEING USED.

CAUTION: When

using

another

vehicle

as

a

booster, do not allow vehicles to touch. Electrical
systems can be damaged on either vehicle.

TO JUMP START A DISABLED VEHICLE:

(1) Raise hood on disabled vehicle and visually

inspect engine compartment for:

• Battery cable clamp condition, clean if necessary.

• Frozen battery.

• Yellow or bright color test indicator, if equipped.

• Low battery fluid level.

• Generator drive belt condition and tension.

• Fuel fumes or leakage, correct if necessary.

CAUTION: If the cause of starting problem on dis-
abled vehicle is severe, damage to booster vehicle
charging system can result.

(2) When using another vehicle as a booster

source, park the booster vehicle within cable reach.
Turn off all accessories, set the parking brake, place

the automatic transmission in PARK or the manual
transmission in NEUTRAL and turn the ignition
OFF.

(3) On disabled vehicle, place gear selector in park

or neutral and set park brake. Turn off all accesso-
ries.

(4) Connect jumper cables to booster battery. RED

clamp to positive terminal (+). BLACK clamp to neg-
ative terminal (-). DO NOT allow clamps at opposite
end of cables to touch, electrical arc will result.
Review all warnings in this procedure.

(5) On disabled vehicle, connect RED jumper cable

clamp to positive (+) terminal. Connect BLACK
jumper cable clamp to engine ground as close to the
ground cable attaching point as possible (Fig. 1).

(6) Start the engine in the vehicle which has the

booster battery, let the engine idle a few minutes,
then start the engine in the vehicle with the dis-
charged battery.
