Jump-Starting

▼ Jump-Starting

Jump-starting is dangerous if done incorrectly. So follow the procedure carefully. If

you feel unsure about jump-starting, we strongly recommend that you have a

competent service technician do the work.

WARNING

Follow These Precautions Carefully:

To ensure safe and correct handling of the battery, read the following precautions

carefully before using the battery or inspecting it.

Keep flames and sparks away from open battery cells and do not allow

metal tools to contact the positive (+) or negative (-) terminal of the battery when

working near a battery. Do not allow the positive (+) terminal to contact the

vehicle body:

Flames and sparks near open battery cells are dangerous. Hydrogen gas, produced

during normal battery operation, could ignite and cause the battery to explode. An

exploding battery can cause serious burns and injuries. Keep all flames including

cigarettes and sparks away from open battery cells.

Keep all flames and sparks away from open battery cells because hydrogen

gas is produced from open battery cells while charging the battery or adding

battery fluid:

Flames and sparks near open battery cells are dangerous. Hydrogen gas, produced

during normal battery operation, could ignite and cause the battery to explode. An

exploding battery can cause serious burns and injuries. Keep all flames including

cigarettes and sparks away from open battery cells.

Do not jump-start a frozen battery or one with a low fluid level:

Jump-starting a frozen battery or one with a low fluid level is dangerous. It may

rupture or explode, causing serious injury.

Connect the negative cable to a good ground point away from the battery:

Connecting the end of the second jumper cable to the negative (-) terminal of the

discharged battery is dangerous.

A spark could cause the gas around the battery to explode and injure someone.

7-11

If Trouble Arises

Battery Runs Out

Route the jumper cables away from parts that will be moving:

Connecting a jumper cable near or to moving parts (cooling fans, belts) is

dangerous. The cable could get caught when the engine starts and cause serious

injury.

CAUTION

Use only a 12 V booster system. You can damage a 12 V starter, ignition system, and

other electrical parts beyond repair with a 24 V power supply (two 12 V batteries in

series or a 24 V motor generator set).

1. Move the booster vehicle so that its battery is as close as possible to your

vehicle's battery.

2. Make sure that the power such as for the headlights and air conditioner is turned

off.

3. Remove the battery cover.

4. Turn off the booster vehicle's engine and connect the jumper cables in the

following order.

Make sure that the jumper cables are securely connected so that they do not

disconnect due to engine vibrations.

5. Start the booster vehicle's engine and rev the engine.

6. Start the engine of your vehicle. Run the engines for about 3 minutes to

temporarily charge the battery of your vehicle.

7. Disconnect the jumper cables in the reverse order of their connection.

8. Install the battery cover.
