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 vehicle, 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) or a manual transaxle in NEUTRAL
before setting the parking brake.
NOTICE:
If you leave your radio on, it could be badly
damaged. The repairs wouldn't be covered by
your warranty.
3. Turn off the ignition on both vehicles. Unplug
unnecessary accessories plugged into the cigarette
lighter or in the auxiliary power outlet. Turn off the
radio and all lamps that aren't needed. This will
avoid sparks and help save both batteries. And it
could save your radio!
4. Open the hoods and locate the batteries. Find the
positive (+) and negative (
-) terminal location on each
vehicle. You will not need to access your battery for
jump starting. Your vehicle has a remote positive (+)
jump starting terminal for that purpose. The terminal is
located on the same side of the engine compartment as
your battery. See ªEngine Compartment Overviewº in
the Index for more information on location.
To uncover the remote positive (+) terminal, squeeze
the sides of the red plastic cap and pull the cap
upward. You should always use the remote
positive (+) terminal instead of the positive (+)
terminal on your battery.
