358 WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES JUMP-STARTING PROCEDURE The battery is stored between the left front headlight assembly and the left front wheel splash shield. Access is through the splash shield. Jump-starting remote battery terminals are located under the hood. WARNING! (Continued) • Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it started. Vehicles equipped with an automatic transaxle cannot be started this way. Unburned fuel could enter the catalytic converter and once the engine has started, ignite and damage the converter and vehicle. If the vehicle has a discharged battery, booster cables may be used to obtain a start from another vehicle. This type of start can be dangerous if done improperly, so follow this procedure carefully. • Do not use a booster battery or any other booster source with an output that exceeds 12-Volts. 1. Wear eye protection and remove any metal jewelry such as watchbands or bracelets that might make an inadvertent electrical contact. WARNING! • Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan whenever the hood is raised. It can start anytime the ignition switch is on. You can be hurt by the fan. (Continued)
