Vehicle Care 9. Start the engine in the vehicle with the good battery and run the engine at idle speed for at least four minutes. 10. Try to start the vehicle that had the dead battery. If it will not start after a few tries, it probably needs service. Notice: If the jumper cables are connected or removed in the wrong order, electrical shorting may occur and damage the vehicle. The repairs would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Always connect and remove the jumper cables in the correct order, making sure that the cables do not touch each other or other metal. Jumper Cable Removal Reverse the sequence exactly when removing the jumper cables. 10-69 Towing Towing the Vehicle Notice: Incorrectly towing a disabled vehicle may cause damage to the vehicle. The disabled vehicle should be towed on a flatbed car carrier. Use care when there is low ground clearance and/or special equipment. Attempting to pull the vehicle onto a flatbed without following the proper steps could damage the vehicle. Consult your dealer or a professional towing service if the disabled vehicle must be towed. See Roadside Assistance Program (Mexico) on page 13￿7 or Roadside Assistance Program (U.S. and Canada) on page 13￿10. To load a vehicle onto a flatbed carrier: 1. The vehicle must be on a flat surface. 2. The front tires must be properly inflated. If necessary, move a rear tire to the front to replace a flat or damaged tire. 3. Place a 1.2 m (4 ft) X 102 mm (4 in) X 102 mm (4 in) wood beam (4) under the front cradle crossmember (3), and on top of both tow chains (5) to ensure the tow chains do not come into contact with the front fascia (1). Try to minimize the contact of the chains with the flexible air dam (2).
