Nissan 2006 Altima Automobile User Manual


 
To start your engine with a booster battery, the
instructions and precautions below must be fol-
lowed.
WARNING
If done incorrectly, jump starting can
lead to a battery explosion, resulting in
severe injury or death. It could also
damage your vehicle.
Explosive hydrogen gas is always
present in the vicinity of the battery.
Keep all sparks and flames away from
the battery.
Do not allow battery fluid to come into
contact with eyes, skin, clothing or
painted surfaces. Battery fluid is a cor-
rosive sulfuric acid solution which can
cause severe burns. If the fluid should
come into contact with anything, imme-
diately flush the contacted area with
water.
Keep battery out of the reach of
children.
The booster battery must be rated at 12
volts. Use of an improperly rated battery
can damage your vehicle.
Whenever working on or near a battery,
always wear suitable eye protectors (for
example, goggles or industrial safety
spectacles) and remove rings, metal
bands, or any other jewelry. Do not lean
over the battery when jump starting.
Do not attempt to jump start a frozen
battery. It could explode and cause se-
rious injury.
Your vehicle has an automatic engine
cooling fan. It could come on at any
time. Keep hands and other objects
away from it.
