The remote negative (-)
terminal (marked GND) is
located near the front of the
engine compartment.
See the engine compartment
diagram in Section 4 to lo-
cate the remote terminal.
5. Check that the jumper cables
don't have any loose or
missing insulation. If they do,
you could get a shock and the
vehicles could be damaged.
Do not connect positive (+) to
negative (-) or you will get a
short that would damage the
battery and possibly other
parts.
Do not connect the
negative (-) cable to the
negative (-) terminal on the
dead battery because this can
cause sparks.
