Caution
If the jumper cables are
connected or removed in the
wrong order, electrical shorting
may occur and damage the
vehicle. The repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty.
Always connect and remove the
jumper cables in the correct order,
making sure that the cables do
not touch each other or other
metal.
1. Remote Positive (+)Terminal 2. Remote Negative (−)
Terminal
1. The vehicle used to jump start must have a 12-volt battery
with a negative ground.
Caution
If the other vehicle does not have
a 12-volt system with a negative
ground, both vehicles can be
damaged. Only use a vehicle that
has a 12-volt system with a
negative ground for jump starting.
2. The vehicles should be close enough for the jumper cables
to reach, but the vehicles
should not be touching.
Touching could cause
grounding and possible
electrical system damage.
Put both vehicles in P (Park)
and set the parking brake
firmly.
3. Unplug accessories plugged into the cigarette lighter or the
accessory power outlet. Turn off the radio and all lamps that
are not needed. Turn off the
ignition on both vehicles.
4. Locate the positive (+) and negative (−) terminals on both
vehicles. Some vehicles have
remote jump starting terminals.{Warning
An electric fan can start up even
when the engine is not running
and can injure you. Keep hands,
clothing, and tools away from any
underhood electric fan.
5. The remote positive (+) terminal (1) is located on the
underhood fuse block, on the
driver side. Lift the red cap to
uncover the terminal.
The remote negative (−)
terminal (2) is a stud behind
the metal tab stamped with
GND (−) near the driver side
strut tower.
