Manual Description
Serious personal injury may result from improperly performed work. Location of the vehicle battery Depending upon the engine type, the battery is located in the engine compartment or behind a cover in the luggage compartment. Vehicles with the battery located in the luggage compartment are equipped with a battery isolator feature.
In a collision, the airbag control module triggers a small pyrotechnic charge that physically disconnects the battery from the engine starter motor and the positive jump-start terminal in the engine compartment. Never let battery acid or lead particles come into contact with your eyes, skin, or clothing. To reduce your risk of injury, never tilt the batteries, as this could spill acid through the vents and burn you.
Reconnect the plus cable (+) first and then the negative cable (-). Never create sparks or electrostatic charges when handling cables and electrical equipment. High-energy sparks can cause serious personal injury.
