Vehicle Care

1. Discharged Battery Negative Grounding

Point

2. Discharged Battery Positive Terminal
3. Good Battery Negative Terminal
4. Good Battery Positive Terminal

The jump start negative grounding point (1)
for the discharged battery is the engine
block or an engine mounting bolt. Connect
to a spot as 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) and
positive terminal (4) are on the battery of
the vehicle providing the jump start.

The positive jump start connection for the
discharged battery is under a trim cover.
Open the cover to expose the terminal.

1. Check the other vehicle. It must have a

12-volt battery with a negative ground
system.

Caution

If the other vehicle does not have a
12-volt system with a negative ground,
both vehicles can be damaged. Only use
a vehicle that has a 12-volt system with a
negative ground for jump starting.

2. Position the two vehicles so that they

are not touching.

3. Set the parking brake firmly and put the

shift lever in P (Park) with an automatic
transmission, or Neutral with a manual
transmission.

Caution

If any accessories are left on or 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.

4. Turn the ignition off. Turn off all lights

and accessories in both vehicles, except
the hazard warning flashers if needed.

{

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.

{

Warning

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.
