far away from the discharged
battery as possible.

The jump start positive terminal (2)
on the discharged battery is in the
engine compartment on the driver
side of the vehicle.

The jump start negative terminal (3)

plugged in during the jump
starting procedure, they could be
damaged. The repairs would not
be covered by the vehicle
warranty. Whenever possible, turn
off or unplug all accessories on
either vehicle when jump starting.
