Notice: If you leave your radio or other
accessories on during the jump starting
procedure, they could be damaged. The repairs
would not be covered by your warranty.
Always turn off your radio and other
accessories when jump starting your 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
the lamps that are not needed. This will
avoid sparks and help save both batteries.
And it could save the radio!
4. Open the hood on the other vehicle and
locate the positive (+) and negative (−)
terminal locations on that vehicle.
Your vehicle has a remote positive (+) jump
starting terminal and a remote negative (−)
jump starting terminal. You should always
use these remote terminals instead of
the terminals on the battery.
The remote positive (+) terminal, if equipped,
is located under a red plastic cover at
the positive battery post. To uncover the
remote positive (+) terminal, open the
red plastic cover.
The remote negative (−) terminal is a stud
located on the right front of the engine,
where the negative battery cable attaches.
See Engine Compartment Overview on
page 402 for more information on the
location of the remote positive (+) and
remote negative (−) terminals.
{CAUTION:
An electric fan can start up even when
the engine is not running and can injure
you. Keep hands, clothing and tools away
from any underhood electric fan.
