Caution
If any accessories are left on or
plugged in during the jump
starting procedure, they could be
damaged. The repairs would not
be covered by the vehicle
warranty. Whenever possible, turn
off or unplug all accessories on
either vehicle when jump starting.
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
positive (+) and negative (−)
terminal locations or the remote
positive (+) and remote
negative (−) terminals of the
other vehicle. Then locate the
remote positive (+) location on
your vehicle. See Engine
Compartment Overview on
page 10-6 for locations of the
terminals.
Your vehicle has a remote
negative (−) ground location,
as shown in the illustration.
It is on the left side of the engine
compartment. See Engine
Compartment Overview on
page 10-6. You should always
use this remote ground location,
instead of the terminal on the
battery.

Caution
Do not connect a negative cable
to the Engine Control Module
(ECM), ECM mounting bracket,
or any cables that attach to the
ECM bracket. This may damage
the ECM. Always attach the
negative cable to the vehicle's
remote negative ground location,
instead of the ECM, ECM bracket,
or any cables attached to the
ECM bracket.
