WARNING!

• Do not attempt jump-starting if the battery is frozen. It could rupture or explode

and cause personal injury.

• Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan whenever the hood is raised. It can

start anytime the ignition switch is on. You can be injured by moving fan

blades.

• Remove any metal jewelry such as watch bands or bracelets that might make

an inadvertent electrical contact. You could be seriously injured.

• Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can burn your skin or eyes and generate

hydrogen gas which is flammable and explosive. Keep open flames or sparks

away from the battery.

• Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a ground

connection and personal injury could result.

• Failure to follow this procedure could result in personal injury or property

damage due to battery explosion.

•

Do not connect the cable to the negative post (-) of the discharged battery. The

resulting electrical spark could cause the battery to explode and could result in

personal injury.

SHIFT LEVER OVERRIDE

position, you can use the following procedure to temporarily move the shift lever:
