Jump starting procedure
Push-starting
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.

will assure the vehicle can be
started next time after the engine
is shut off.
Proceed to connect one end of the
other jumper cable to the negative
terminal of the booster battery (3),
then the other end to a solid, sta-
tionary, metallic point (for example,
the engine lifting bracket) away
from the battery (4). Do not con-
