Pull off the road and stop as soon as it is
safe to do so.
Place the gear selector lever in "P" (auto-
matic), or neutral (manual transaxle) and
set the parking brake. If the air condition-
ing is on, turn it off.

Connect the red jump cable to the positive
(+) terminal of the booster battery and the

other end to the positive (+) terminal of the
discharged battery.
CAUTION:
Personal injury and damage to the vehicle
may occur if jump starting is not per-
formed correctly. If any doubt exists as to
how this operation should be performed,
seek assistance from qualified personnel.
5. Attach the black jump cable to the nega-
tive (-) terminal of the booster battery, and
the other end to a ground point within the
engine compartment of the vehicle with
the flat battery. Do not connect to the
negative battery terminal of the flat battery
since sparks may be generated with the
subsequent risk of explosion.
3. If coolant is running out under the car or
steam is coming out from under the bonnet
stop the engine. Do not open the bonnet
until the coolant has stopped running or
the steaming has stopped. If there is no
visible loss of coolant and no steam, leave
the engine running and check to be sure
the engine cooling fan is operating.
WARNING:
Motor vehicle batteries contain sulphuric
acid and emit hydrogen gas. Protective
clothing should be worn and care exer-
cised to prevent the acid from coming into
contact with skin or clothing and the ve-
hicle. Naked lights should not be permitted
in the vicinity of the battery. Care should
be exercised to prevent sparks occurring
during connection. If acid accidentally
comes into contact with skin or eyes, the
affected area should immediately be flushed

Raise the booster vehicle engine speed to
2,000 r.p.m. and start the engine of the
vehicle with the flat battery.
If the fan is not running, turn the engine off.

Check to see if the water pump drive belt
is missing. If it is not missing, check to see
that it is tight. If the drive belt seems to be
satisfactory, check for coolant leaking from
the radiator, hoses or under the car. (If the
air conditioning had been in use, it is
normal for cold water to be draining from
it).
7.
Remove jump cables in the reverse order
of installation (black cable first).
CAUTION:
If the jump cable is incorrectly installed,
damage to the vehicle electrical system
may occur, in particular the electronic com-
