332 WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES WARNING! Wear eye protection and remove any metal jewelry such as watch bands or bracelets that might make an inadvertent electrical contact. You could be seriously injured. NOTE: Disconnecting the battery with the ignition in the On position will cause vehicles with an automatic transaxle (CVT2) to go into "default mode" and turn on the malfunction indicator light. See your authorized dealer to correct this condition. 1. Wear eye protection and remove any metal jewelry such as watch bands 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 letting the vehicles touch. Set parking brake, place automatic transaxle in PARK (manual transaxle in NEUTRAL) and turn ignition to OFF for both vehicles. 3. Turn off the heater, radio and all unnecessary electrical loads. 4. Remove the air intake duct covering the battery, using the two finger screws on the cover.
