13. Disconnect the positive (+) jumper cable from the

positive (+) post of the booster battery.

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

from the remote 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 that can be 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, 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 your

steering wheel right and left to clear the area around the

front wheels. Then shift back and forth between 2nd gear

and REVERSE, while gently pressing the accelerator. Use

the least amount of pressure to maintain the rocking

motion, without spinning the wheels, or racing the

engine.

CAUTION!

• When “rocking” a stuck vehicle by shifting be-

tween 2nd gear and REVERSE, do not spin the

wheels faster than 15 mph (24 km/h), or drivetrain

damage may result.
