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 lamps
that are not needed. This will avoid sparks
and help save both batteries. And it could
save the radio!

and negative (−) terminal locations on the
other vehicle. Your vehicle has a remote
positive (+) jump starting terminal and
a remote negative (−) jump starting terminal.The remote positive (+) terminal is located in
the engine compartment on the passenger’s
side of the vehicle. Lift the red plastic cap
to access the terminal. SeeEngine
Compartment Overview on page 364for more
information on the location of the remote
positive (+) terminal.
