JUMP STARTING PRECAUTIONS

WARNING   WARNING:  Connect batteries with only the same nominal voltage.
WARNING   WARNING:  Use only adequately sized cables with insulated clamps.

Note:   This procedure is only for the 12 volt under hood battery.

Note:   Your vehicle has a 12 volt battery that is easily accessible under the hood. The 12 volt battery controls the switches and contacts that engage the high voltage battery. Do not jump start the high voltage battery using a standard 12 volt battery. Tow your vehicle to an authorized dealer if the high voltage battery does not accept a regular charge.

Note:   Do not attempt to push start your vehicle. You could cause transmission damage.

Note:   Do not disconnect the 12 volt battery from your vehicle electrical system.

Opening the Front Luggage Compartment With No Vehicle Power

If the vehicle has no power, you will be unable to open the front luggage compartment. To open the front luggage compartment follow the steps below:

  1. Use an external power supply such as a 12 volt jump box.
