Remove all metal jewelry before working on, or near, a battery or boost point terminals. Never allow metal objects or vehicle components to come into contact with the battery or boost point terminals. Metal objects can cause sparks or short circuits, potentially resulting in serious injury or damage to the vehicle.
Do not allow the battery posts or terminals to come into contact with skin. Battery posts and terminals contain nickel and lead compounds which are toxic. Always wash the hands thoroughly after handling the battery.
Do not expose any battery to an open flame or spark. An open flame or sparks may cause a fire or explosion, potentially resulting in serious injury or death.
Never jump start, charge, or try to start a vehicle with a frozen battery. Doing so may result in permanent damage to the battery.
Rotating parts of the engine can cause serious injury. Take extreme care when working near rotating parts of the engine.
Before attempting to start the vehicle, make sure that the Electric Parking Brake (EPB) is applied, or suitably chock the wheels. Make sure that Park (P) is selected. Failure to do so may result in accidents causing serious injury or death.
Always wear appropriate eye protection when working in the area of a battery. Battery electrolyte can cause serious injury to eyes.
Do not connect the jump leads directly to any battery terminal on the vehicle. Doing so may cause a spark, potentially resulting in serious injury or damage to the vehicle.
Make sure that any battery or starting aid is a 12-volt device, compatible with a Lithium-ion (Li-ion) LiFePO4 battery. Unapproved devices can cause damage to the vehicle.
Make sure there is no physical contact between the donor and disabled vehicles, other than the jump leads. Failure to do so may cause damage to the vehicle.
Disconnect the jump leads before operating any electrical equipment. Failure to do so may cause damage to the vehicle.
Make sure the jump leads being used are of high quality, in good condition and are rated for the capacity of both vehicles batteries. Incorrectly rated jump leads may not supply sufficient power to the disabled vehicle's battery and may overheat when attempting to start the vehicle.
Before connecting the jump leads to the disabled vehicle's jump start points, make sure the donor vehicle's jump start point connections are correct. Also make sure that all electrical equipment has been switched off.
The vehicle's battery is not accessible to the owner. Jump start the vehicle using the jump start terminals.
The above label identifies that a Li-ion battery is fitted to the vehicle and is located near the vehicle's positive jump start terminal.
The information on the label displays the maximum voltage that should be applied at the jump start terminals when attempting to jump start the vehicle.
The information on the label displays the maximum voltage and current that should be applied at the jump start terminals when charging the 12V battery.
To connect the jump leads:
Refer to the donor vehicle's Owner's Handbook for the recommended positive jump start terminal.
Refer to the donor vehicle's Owner's Handbook for the recommended negative jump start terminal.
Check that all cables are clear of any moving components and that all four connections are secure.
Do not switch on any electrical circuits on the disabled vehicle until after the jump leads are removed.
The battery of the disabled vehicle may still have a low state of charge and require additional running to recharge the battery back to the required level.
