2. If the vehicle is equipped with
dual batteries, using the battery
that is closer to the starter will
reduce electrical resistance. This
is located on the passenger
side, in the rear of the engine
compartment.
3. Get the vehicles close enough
so the jump leads can reach, but
be sure the vehicles are not
touching each other. If they are,
it could cause an unwanted
ground connection. You would
not be able to start your vehicle,
and the bad grounding could
damage the electrical systems.
To avoid the possibility of the
vehicles rolling, apply the
parking brake firmly on both
vehicles involved in the jump
start procedure. Put the
automatic transmission in
P (Park) or a manual gearbox in
Neutral before setting the
parking brake. For vehicles with
four-wheel-drive with a
N (Neutral) transfer case
position, be sure the transfer
case is in a drive gear
N (Neutral).
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 off the ignition on both
vehicles. Unplug unnecessary
accessories plugged into the
accessory power outlets. Turn
off the radio and all the lamps
that are not needed. This will
avoid sparks and help save both
batteries. And it could save the
radio!
Vehicle Care
5. Open the hood on the other
vehicle and locate the

terminal locations on that
vehicle.
The positive (+) terminal is under
a red plastic cover at the positive
battery post. To uncover the
positive (+) terminal, open the
red plastic cover.
For more information on the
location of the remote
positive (+) and remote
negative ( ) terminals, see

An electric fan can start up even
