Remove jumper cables:
WARNING! When discon-
necting jumper cables, make
sure they do not get caught
in any moving parts in the
engine compartment. You
could be seriously injured.
• Reverse the above procedure
exactly when removing the jumper
cables. With engine running, dis-
connect jumper cables from both
vehicles in the exact reverse order
(Steps 4 – 1), making sure to first
remove the negative cable from the
vehicle with the discharged battery.
Protecting the
Environment
The growing scarcity of the world's nat-
ural resources and the escalating prob-
lem of pollution pose serious threats to
the environment. In order to conserve
resources and to minimize pollution it is
recommended that the following prac-
tices are adopted:
• Do not dispose of used oils,
hydraulic fluids, or engine coolant
in drains, sewers, water courses, or
land-fill sites. These fluids are
harmful to the environment and
must be disposed of properly.
• Used oils, coolant, and hydraulic
fluids should be returned to the
appropriate authority for recycling.
Ensure that all waste fluid products
are segregated and are not inter-
mixed; this practice will increase
the efficiency and viability of the re-
cycling process.
• Ensure that the vehicle is regularly
serviced to maintain peak effi-
ciency. A correctly maintained vehi-
cle will contribute to maximum fuel
economy and a reduction in
exhaust gas pollutants.
