off the radio and all lamps that
are not needed. Turn off the

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. 6. The jumper cables should be in
good working condition with no
loose or missing insulation.
The vehicles could be
damaged if they are not.
7. Connect the red positive (+) cable to the positive (+)
terminal on the vehicle with the
dead battery. Use a remote
positive (+) terminal if the
vehicle has one.
8. Do not let the other end touch metal. Connect it to the
positive (+) terminal of the
good battery. Use a remote
positive (+) terminal if the
vehicle has one.
9. 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 a remote negative (−)
terminal on the vehicle with the
dead battery.
10. Connect the other end of the negative (−) cable away from
the dead battery, but not near
engine parts that move.
11. Start the vehicle with the good battery and run the engine.
12. Press the unlock symbol on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter to disarm the
security system, if equipped.
13. Try to start the vehicle that had the dead battery. If it will not
start after a few tries, it needs
service.
Caution
If the jumper cables are
connected or removed in the
wrong order, electrical shorting

Switch fuse, from the
instrument panel fuse block
and store it in a safe location.
See
Instrument Panel Fuse
Block 0234.
Caution
If the vehicle is towed without
performing each of the steps
listed under “Dinghy Towing,” the
automatic transmission could be
damaged. Be sure to follow all
steps of the dinghy towing
procedure prior to and after
towing the vehicle.
