Notice: If the radio or other
accessories are left 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 outlets. Turn off the radio
and all lamps that are not
needed. This will avoid sparks
and help save both batteries.
And it could save the radio!
4. Open the hoods and locate the
batteries. Find the positive (+)
and negative (
− ) terminal
locations on each vehicle.
You will not need to access
your battery for jump starting.
Your vehicle has a remote
positive (+) jump starting
terminal for that purpose.
The remote positive (+)
terminal is located in the
engine compartment on the
passenger side of the vehicle,
on the underhood fuse block.
See
Engine Compartment
Overview on page 10 ‑ 6 for
more information on location.
To uncover the remote
positive (+) terminal, remove
the fuse block cover. You
should always use the remote
positive (+) terminal instead of
the positive (+) terminal on the
battery.
