2.
Get the vehicles
close
enough
so
the jumper cables
can
reach, but be sure the vehicles aren’t touching
each other.
If
they are, it could cause
a
ground
connection you don’t want. You wouldn’t be able to
start your Aurora, and the bad grounding could
damage the electrical systems.
To avoid the possibility
of
the vehicles rolling, set
the
parking brake firmly on both vehicles involved in
the jump start procedure. Put an automatic transaxle
in
PARK
(P)
before setting the parking brake.
3.
Turn
off
the ignition on both vehicles. Unplug
unnecessary accessories plugged into the cigarette
lighter or accessory power outlet.
Turn
off
all lamps
that aren’t needed as well as radios. This will avoid
sparks and help save both batteries. In addition, it
could save your radio.
NOTICE:
If you leave your radio on, it could be badly
damaged. The repairs wouldn’t be covered by
your warranty.
4.
Open the hoods and locate the other vehicle’s battery
and the Aurora’s remote positive
(+)
jump starting
terminal in the box on the passenger side
of
the
engine compartment.
(Your
Aurora’s battery isn’t
under the hood.)
An electric fan can start up even when the engine
is
not running and can injure you. Keep hands,
clothing and tsols away from any underhood
electric fan.
