jump start terminals OLDSMOBILE SILHOUETTE 1997 Owners Manual

4. Find the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals on
each battery.
Your Oldsmobile has a
remote positive (+)jump
starting terminal. The
terminal
is under a
tethered cap at the front
of the underhood fuse
and relay center.
Pull up the cap
to access the remote
positive
(+) terminal.
You should always use the remote positive
(+)
terminal instead of the positive (+) terminal on
your battery. 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 flashlight if
you need more light.
Be sure the battery has enough water. You
don’t need to add water to the Delco Freedom’
battery installed in every new
GM vehicle. But
if a battery has filler caps, be sure the right
amount of fluid is there.
If it is low, add water to
take care of that first.
If you don’t, explosive gas
could be present.
Battery fluid contains acid that can burn you.
Don’t get it on you.
If you accidentally get it in
your eyes or on your skin, flush the place with
water and get medical help immediately.
