Jump Starting Although this seems like a simple procedure, you should take several precautions. To jump start your vehicle: 1. Open the hood, and check the physical condition of the 12 volt battery. A battery can explode if you do not follow the correct procedure, seriously injuring anyone nearby. Keep all sparks, open flames, and smoking materials away from the battery. You cannot start your vehicle by pushing or pulling it. If a battery sits in extreme cold, the electrolyte inside can f reeze. Attempting to jump start with a f rozen battery can cause it to rupture. 2. Turn off all the electrical accessories: climate control, audio system, lights, etc. Put the transmission in Park, and set the parking brake.
