3. Turn off the ignition on both vehicles. Unplug
unnecessary accessories plugged into the cigarette
lighter or the accessory power outlet. Turn
off all
lamps that aren’t needed as well as radios. This will
avoid sparks and help save both batteries.
In
addition, it could save your radio!
I NOTICE:
If you leave your radio on, it could be badly
damaged. The repairs wouldn’t be covered by
your warranty.
4. Open the hoods and locate the batteries.
An electric fan can start up even when the engine

clothing and tools away from any underhood
electric fan.

each battery.
Your Oldsmobile has
a remote positive (+)jump

positive
(+) terminal instead of the positive (+)
terminal on your battery.
To open the remote positive
(+) terminal box, pull
the tab and open the cover.
