Jump Starting in Case of Emergency
With Auxiliary (Booster) Battery
CAUTION
!
If vehicle is manual transaxle model and has
a catalytic converter, do not push or tow it to
start. Damage to its emission system and/or
to other parts may result.
Both booster and discharged battery should be treated
carefully when using jumper cables. Follow the
procedure outlined as follows, being careful not to cause
sparks.
WARNING
!
• Departure from these conditions or
procedure described as follows could
result in:
– Serious personal injury (particularly to
eyes) or property damage from such
causes as battery explosion, battery
acid, or electrical burns.
– Damage to electronic components of
either vehicle.
• Remove rings, watches, and other jewelry.
Wear approved eye protection.
• Be careful so that metal tools or jumper
cables do not contact positive battery
terminal (or metal in contact with it) and
any other metal on vehicle, because a
short circuit could occur.
• Do not connect negative cable directly to
negative terminal of dead battery.
Repair Instructions

of booster battery and the other end of the same
cable to positive terminal of discharged battery. (Use
12-volt battery only to jump start engine).
4) Attach one end of the remaining negative cable to
negative terminal of booster battery, and the other
end to a solid engine ground (such as exhaust
manifold) at least 45 cm (18 in.) away from battery of
vehicle being started.
5) Start engine of vehicle with booster battery and turn
off electrical accessories. Then start engine of the
vehicle with discharged battery.
6) Disconnect jumper cables in the exact reverse order.
