84 WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES "Charge Assist" can be aborted by the following items: • The key is turned to the START position while the system is being charged. • Incorrect installation of the 12-Volt battery charger. • Poor cable clamp contact. • The Hybrid Control Module determines conditions are not suitable for charging. If the "Charge Aborted" message is displayed check the battery charger clamps, making sure there is a good connection. Check to see that the 12-Volt battery charger is turned on. Turn OFF the ignition, wait 10 to 15 seconds and turn the key to the START position. If the "Charge Aborted" message is still active have the vehicle towed to the nearest authorized dealer for service. Jump-Starting - 12-Volt Battery 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 the 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. Do not use a booster battery or any other booster source with an output that exceeds 12-Volts. 1. Wear eye protection and remove all metal jewelry such as watch bands or bracelets which might make an unintended electrical contact.
