WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES 345 WARNING! • Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution; do not allow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin, or clothing. Don't lean over battery when attaching clamps or allow the clamps to touch each other. If acid splashes in eyes or on skin, flush contaminated area immediately with large quantities of water. • A battery generates hydrogen gas, which is flammable and explosive. Keep flame or spark away from the vent holes. The battery is stored between the left front headlight assembly and the left front wheel splash shield. Access is through the splash shield. Remote jump-start terminals are located under the hood. 1. Wear eye protection and remove any metal jewelry such as watchbands or bracelets that might make an inadvertent electrical contact. 2. When boosting from a battery in another vehicle, park that vehicle within booster cable reach, but without allowing the vehicles to touch. Set parking brake, place automatic transaxle in PARK and turn ignition to LOCK for both vehicles. WARNING! Do not permit vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a ground connection and personal injury could result. 6
