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 outlet.
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 each vehicle’s hood and locate the
positive (+) and negative (−) terminal
locations of the other vehicle. Your vehicle
has a remote positive (+) 12-volt 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
is located under the engine cover on the
driver’s side of the engine compartment.
To access the remote positive (+) terminal,
remove the engine cover by pulling up on the
cover and lifting it off the engine. Locate
the underhood fuse block and lift off cover.
The remote positive (+) terminal cover has a
red “+” on it. Remove the red rubber cap
to expose the jump start terminal.
5. The remote negative (−) terminal is located
on the generator on the passenger’s side
of the engine compartment. See Engine
Compartment Overview on page 296 for more
information on location of the positive (+)
and negative (−) terminals.
