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
outlets, if equipped. Turn off the radio and all
lamps that are not needed. This will avoid
sparks and help to save both batteries. And it
could save the radio!
4. Open both hoods and locate the batteries.
Find the positive (+) and negative (−)
terminals on each battery. Your vehicle has a
remote negative (−) jump starting terminal.
You should always use this remote terminal
instead of the terminal on the battery.
The remote negative (−) terminal is located on
the front engine lift bracket on vehicles with
the 4.2L L6 engine or the engine accessory
drive bracket for vehicles with the 5.3L V8
engine, and is marked GND (Ground).
SeeEngine Compartment Overview on
page 390for more information on location.
{CAUTION:
Using a match near a battery can cause
battery gas to explode. People have been
hurt doing this, and some have been
blinded. Use a ashlight if you need
more light.
Be sure the battery has enough water.
You do not need to add water to the
battery installed in your new vehicle. But
if a battery has ller caps, be sure the
right amount of uid is there. If it is low,
add water to take care of that rst. If you
do not, explosive gas could be present.
Battery uid contains acid that can
burn you. Do not get it on you. If you
accidentally get it in your eyes or on your
skin, ush the place with water and get
medical help immediately.

8. Now connect the black negative (−) cable to
the negative (−) terminal of the good battery.
Use a remote negative (−) terminal if the
vehicle has one.
Do not let the other end touch anything until
the next step. The other end of the negative (−)
cable does not go to the dead battery. It
goes to a heavy, unpainted metal engine part
or to the remote negative (−) terminal on
the vehicle with the dead battery. Your vehicle
has a remote negative (−) terminal, marked
GND, for this purpose.The remote negative (−) terminal is located on
the front engine lift bracket for the 4.2L L6
engine, and on the accessory drive bracket for
the 5.3L V8 engine.
9. Connect the other end of the negative (−) cable
to the remote negative (−) terminal on the
vehicle with the dead battery.
10. Now start the vehicle with the good battery and
run the engine for a while.
11. Try to start the vehicle that had the dead
battery. If it will not start after a few tries, it
probably needs service.
Notice: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 your 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.
