9-102 Vehicle Care
Notice: If you leave the radio or
other accessories on during the
jump starting procedure, they
could be damaged. The repairs
would not be covered by the
warranty. Always turn off the
radio and other accessories when
jump starting the vehicle.
3. Turn off the ignition on both
vehicles. Unplug unnecessary
accessories plugged into the
cigarette lighter or the accessory
power outlet. Turn off the radio
and all lamps that are not
needed. This will avoid sparks,
helping save both batteries and
the radio.

vehicle and locate the
positive (+) and negative (

terminal locations on that
vehicle.
Open the hood on your vehicle
and find the remote positive (+)
and remote negative (

starting terminals.

and a remote negative (

remote negative (

stud located in the engine
compartment on the driver side
of the vehicle, on the front tie
bar. See
