Warning
Charging the 12-volt battery and the high
voltage battery at the same time may
result in overheating or failure. Do not
attempt to charge the 12-volt battery and
the high voltage battery at the same
time. If jumpstarting fails, see your dealer
for service.
Caution
The vehicle is equipped with an AGM/VRLA
12-volt battery, which can be damaged
by using the incorrect type of trickle
charger. An AGM/VRLA-compatible charger
must be used, with the appropriate
setting selected. Follow the trickle charger
manufacturer instructions.
Caution
Ignoring these steps could result in costly
damage to the vehicle that would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty. Trying to
start the vehicle by pushing or pulling it will
not work, and it could damage the vehicle.
Caution
If the jumper cables are connected or
removed in the wrong order, electrical
shorting may occur and damage the
vehicle. The repairs would not be covered
by the vehicle warranty. Always connect
and remove the jumper cables in the correct
order, making sure that the cables do not
touch each other or other metal.
Connection Points and Sequence
1. Discharged Battery Positive (+) Terminal
2. Good Battery Positive (+) Terminal
3. Good Battery Negative (−) Terminal
4. Discharged Battery Negative (−)
Grounding Point
The discharged battery positive (+) terminal
and the discharged battery negative (–)
grounding point are on the driver side of
the vehicle.
The good battery negative (–) terminal and the
good battery positive (+) terminal are on the
battery of the vehicle providing the jump start.
The discharged battery positive (+) terminal
and the discharged battery negative (–)
grounding point are under a cover. Remove
the cover to expose the terminal.
Caution
If the other vehicle does not have a 12-
volt system with a negative ground, both
vehicles can be damaged. Only use a vehicle
that has a 12-volt system with a negative
ground for jump starting.
1. Check the other vehicle. It must have
a 12-volt battery with a negative
ground system.
