WARNING

A battery can explode if you do not follow the correct procedure, seriously injuring anyone nearby.

Keep all sparks, open flames, and smoking materials away from the battery.

Securely attach the jumper cables clips so that they do not come off when the engine vibrates. Also be careful not to tangle the jumper cables or allow the cable ends to touch each other while attaching or detaching the jumper cables.

Battery performance degrades in cold conditions and may prevent the engine from starting.

Once your vehicle's engine has started, remove the jumper cables in the following order.

1. Disconnect the jumper cable from your vehicle's stud bolt.

2. Disconnect the other end of the jumper cable from the booster battery (-) terminal.

3. Disconnect the jumper cable from your vehicle's battery (+) terminal.

4. Disconnect the other end of the jumper cable from the booster battery (+) terminal.

Have your vehicle inspected by a nearby service station or a dealer.
