Jump-starting hybrid vehicles
Introduction
In this section you’ll find information about:
Positive jump-start terminal for hybrid vehicles
Using jumper cables
If your engine does not start because the 12 Volt vehicle battery is dead, your vehicle's 12 Volt battery
can be connected to the 12 Volt battery of another vehicle to start your engine (jump-starting). Check
the battery acid level indicator on your 12 Volt vehicle battery before jump-starting ⇒  12 Volt vehicle
battery.
You must use jumper cables that meet recognized industrial standards (check information provided by
the jumper cable manufacturer). For vehicles with gasoline engines, the cross-section of the jumper
cable wire must be at least 0.038 in.
2
(25 mm
2
), or about 3 ga. (AWG).
The red jumper cable must only be connected at the positive jump start terminal in the engine com-
partment!
For technical reasons your hybrid vehicle cannot be used to help start (jump-start) the dead 12 Volt
vehicle battery of another vehicle.

WARNING
Working on the batteries or the electrical system in your vehicle can cause serious acid
burns, fires, or electrical shock.
Always keep children away from battery acid and vehicle batteries in general.
Sulfuric battery acid is very corrosive and can cause blindness and damage to unprotect-
ed skin. Never let battery acid or lead particles contact your eyes, skin, and clothing.
Never lean over a vehicle battery. Always wear protective gloves and eye protection. To
reduce your risk of injury, never tilt the batteries; acid could spill out through the vents and
burn you.
A highly explosive mixture of gases is given off when the battery is being charged.
Always avoid fires, sparks, open flame, and smoking. Never create sparks or electrostatic
charges when handling cables and electrical equipment. Never short-circuit the battery ter-
minals. High-energy sparks can cause serious personal injury.
If you get battery acid in your eyes or on your skin, immediately rinse with cold water for
several minutes and get medical attention immediately. If you swallow any battery acid, get
medical attention immediately.
