Jump starting
Jump starting can be dangerous if done
incorrectly. Therefore, to avoid harm to

explode if exposed to flame or
sparks.
Do not attempt to jump start the
vehicle if the discharged battery
is frozen or if the electrolyte level
is low; the battery may rupture or
explode.
Do not allow the jumper cables to con-
tact anything except the correct battery
terminals or the correct ground. Do not
lean over the battery when making
connections.
