Batteries
Battery Jump Starting
Direct connection of either slave batteries
or a donor vehicle battery to a flat battery
may result in an explosion.
Hydrogen gas has a risk of explosion.
An amount of hydrogen gas is produced
when the flat battery receives a charge
from a donor battery, or more pronounced,
from the higher voltage delivered by its
own charging system when the
engine starts.
When the recipient battery is being
disconnected, a spark may occur and
ignite the hydrogen gas.
Warning
Use the following procedure
when jump starting batteries:
Use the boost socket only to connect the
donor battery to the recipient battery.
Used batteries can be a hazard to
health and the environment.
Do not dispose of used batteries with
household waste.
Consult local authority for safe disposal
facilities.
