JUMP STARTING AND QUICK CHARGING
THIS BULLETIN IS FOR INFORMATION ONLY
If it is necessary to jump start a Subaru vehicle equipped with passive belts, it is essential that the following precautions are taken to prevent damage to
the Passive Belt Control Unit.
a.
If jump starting using another battery and vehicle, make sure that the engine rpm is returned to idle on both vehicles before removing the jumper
cables. This will minimize charging current from the alternators which could affect the P/B control units.
b.
If using a quick charge unit, do not open or close the doors while the charger is attached.
Never exceed 16 volts when jump starting or charging a battery installed in a P/B equipped vehicle.
The recommended method for charging the battery in a P/B equipped vehicle is to disconnect the vehicle battery cables prior to connecting the charger
leads.
After jump starting or quick charging a P/B equipped vehicle, always verify the proper operation of the passive belts.
