WARNING
Installation of an English thread lug bolt
into a metric hub will not properly secure
the wheel to the hub. Damaged lug bolts
may result in wheel separation and
possible injury.
6.
Lower the vehicle by turning the jack handle
counterclockwise.
7.
Remove the jack and fully tighten the wheel
lug bolts in the order shown in the
illustration under Step 1.
8.
Put the tire, jack, retaining tool and wrench
away.
9.
Secure the conventional tire where the spare
was stored with the bolt provided.
10. Unblock the wheels.
Jump-Starting Your Vehicle
Your vehicle’s battery may become discharged
(“die”) if you leave the lights or any electrical
equipment on after you turn the engine off. If
this happens, you may be able to jump-start
from a booster battery to start your vehicle.
WARNING
The gases around the battery can explode
if exposed to flames, sparks, or lit
cigarettes. An explosion could result in
injury or vehicle damage.
WARNING
To protect yourself when charging a
battery, always shield your face and eyes.
Make sure that you can breathe fresh air.
139
WARNING
Applying too much pressure on the ends
when lifting a battery could cause acid to
spill. Lift the battery with a carrier or
with your hands on the opposite corners.
WARNING
Batteries contain sulfuric acid which burns
skin, eyes, and clothing.
If the acid touches someone’s skin, eyes, or
clothing, immediately flush the area with water
for at least 15 minutes. If someone swallows the
acid, have him or her drink lots of milk or water
first, then Milk of Magnesia, a beaten egg, or
vegetable oil. Call a doctor immediately.
WARNING
Do not push-start your vehicle. You could
damage the catalytic converter. For further
information, see
Jumper Cables
in the
Index.
To avoid damaging your vehicle or your battery,
and to avoid injury to yourself, follow these
directions for preparing your vehicle to
jump-start and connecting the jumper cables in
the order they are given. If in doubt, call for
road service.
Preparing Your Vehicle
1.
Your vehicle has a 12-volt starting system, so
you need to use a 12-volt jumper system.
You will damage your starting motor,
ignition system, and other electrical parts if
you connect them to a 24-volt power supply
(either two 12-volt batteries in series or a
24-volt generator set).
140
2.
Do not disconnect the battery of the disabled
vehicle. You could damage the vehicle’s
electrical system.
3.
Park the booster vehicle close to the hood of
the disabled vehicle.
Make sure the vehicles
do not touch each other.
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
jumper cables.
5.
Turn on the heater fan in both vehicles.
Press the DEFROST button. Turn off all
other switches and gauges.
Connecting the jumper cables
1.
Connect one end of the first jumper cable to
the positive (+) terminal of the discharged
battery. (You can connect either jumper cable
to the positive (+) terminal, as long as you
use the same cable for both positive
terminals.) Most jumper cables have a red
cable and a black cable. The red cable is
generally used for the positive terminals and
the black for the negative ones.
2.
Connect the other end of the first cable to
the positive (+) terminal of the booster
battery.
3.
Connect one end of the second cable to the
negative (
S
) terminal of the booster battery
— NOT to the discharged battery.
141
4.
Connect the other end of that cable to a
good metallic surface on the engine or frame
of the disabled vehicle. The following
illustration shows where you can find a
metallic surface.
WARNING
Do not connect the end of the second
cable to the negative (
S
) terminal of the
battery to be jumped. A spark may cause
an explosion of the gases that surround
the battery.
