Pontiac Torrent 2009 Owner's Manual page 324

Notice: If you leave the radio or other accessories
on during the jump starting procedure, they could be
damaged. The repairs would not be covered by the
warranty. Always turn off the radio and other
accessories when jump starting the vehicle.
3. Turn off the ignition on both vehicles. Unplug
unnecessary accessories plugged into the cigarette
lighter or the accessory power outlet. Turn off the
radio and all lamps that are not needed. This will
avoid sparks and help save both batteries. And it
could save your radio!
4. Open the hoods and locate the positive (+) and
negative (−) terminal locations on each vehicle.
You will not need to access your battery for jump
starting. Your vehicle has a remote positive (+) and
a remote negative (−) jump starting terminal for
that purpose.
5-38
The remote positive (+) terminal is located under the
engine compartment fuse block cover, and is
marked with a plus (+) symbol on the cover.
5. To remove the fuse block cover, push in the two
locking tabs located on the rear of the cover, and lift.
To reinstall, fit together the tabs located on the front
of the cover and push down on the cover until the
tabs on the rear of the cover, click into place.
