CAUTION - Battery cables
1.
Make  sure the  booster battery  is
12-volt and that its negative termi-
nal is grounded.
Your  manual transmission-equipped
vehicle  should  not  be  push-started
because it  might damage  the emis-
sion control system.
Vehicles  equipped   with   automatic
transmission cannot be push-started.
Do   not   connect    the   jumper
cable from the negative terminal
of  the   booster  battery   to  the
negative   terminal   of  the   dis-
charged battery. This can cause
the discharged  battery  to over-
heat  and  crack,  releasing  bat-
tery acid.
2.
If the booster battery  is in another
vehicle, do  not allow  the vehicles
to touch.
