JUMP STARTING

The gases around the battery can explode if exposed to flames,

sparks, or lit cigarettes. An explosion could result in injury or

vehicle damage.

Batteries contain sulfuric acid which can burn skin, eyes and

clothing, if contacted.

Do not attempt to push-start your automatic transmission

vehicle. Automatic transmissions do not have push-start

capability. Attempting to push-start a vehicle with an automatic

transmission may cause transmission damage.

Preparing your vehicle

When the battery is disconnected or a new battery is installed, the

automatic transmission must relearn its shift strategy. As a result, the

transmission may have firm and/or soft shifts. This operation is

considered normal and will not affect function or durability of the

transmission. Over time, the adaptive learning process will fully update

transmission operation.

1. Use only a 12–volt supply to start your vehicle.

2. Do not disconnect the battery of the disabled vehicle as this could

damage the vehicle’s electrical system.

3. Park the booster vehicle close to the hood of the disabled vehicle

making sure the two vehicles do not touch. Set the parking brake on

both vehicles and stay clear of the engine cooling fan and other moving

parts.

4. Check all battery terminals and remove any excessive corrosion before

you attach the battery cables. Ensure that vent caps are tight and level.

5. Turn the heater fan on in both vehicles to protect from any electrical

surges. Turn all other accessories off.
