8. Disconnect the opposite end of the positive (+) jumper

cable from the positive (+) post of the booster battery.

9. Disconnect the positive (+)end of the jumper cable

from the positive (+) post of the discharged vehicle.

If frequent jump-starting is required to start your vehicle

you should have the battery and charging system in-

spected at your authorized dealer.

CAUTION!

Accessories plugged into the vehicle power outlets

draw power from the vehicle’s battery, even when not

in use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if

plugged in long enough without engine operation,

the vehicle’s battery will discharge sufficiently to

degrade battery life and/or prevent the engine from

starting.

FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE

If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand, or snow, it

can often be moved using a rocking motion. Turn the

steering wheel right and left to clear the area around the

front wheels. Then shift back and forth between DRIVE

and REVERSE (with automatic transmission) or 2nd gear

and REVERSE (with manual transmission), while gently

pressing the accelerator. Use the least amount of accel-

erator pedal pressure that will maintain the rocking

motion, without spinning the wheels or racing the en-

gine.

NOTE: For trucks equipped with 8-speed automatic

transmission, shifts between DRIVE and REVERSE can

only be achieved at wheel speeds of 5 mph or less.
