If frequent jump-starting is required to start your vehicle you should have the battery
and charging system inspected at your authorized dealer.
CAUTION!
Accessories plugged into the vehicle power outlets draw power from the vehicle’s
battery, even when not in use (i.e., cellular devices, etc.). Eventually, if plugged in
long enough without engine operation, the vehicle’s battery will discharge suffi-
ciently to degrade battery life and/or prevent the engine from starting.
Battery Location
There are two remote jump starting posts under the hood which is the recommended
jump start location. If access to the battery is needed, an access panel on the driver’s
side floor will allow for battery access.

position, you can use the following procedure to temporarily move the gear selector:

cover which is located below the gear selector.
