Your Pontiac has a remote positive
(+)
jump starting terminal. The terminal is
in the
red
box on the same side of the
engine compartment as your battery.
You should always use the remote
positive
(+)
terminal instead of the
positive
(+)
terminal on your battery.
To open the remote positive
(+)
terminal box, pull the tab and open the
cover.

CAUTION
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.
Be sure the batteries have enough
water. You don't need to add water
to the Delco Freedom@ battery
installed in every new GM vehicle.
But if a battery has filler caps, be
sure the right amount of fluid is
there. If it is low, add water to take
care of that first. If you don't,
explosive gas could be present.
Battery fluid contains acid that can
burn you. Don't get it on you. If
you accidentally get it in your eyes
or on your skin, flush the place
with water and get medical help
immediately.
Check that the jumper cables don't
have loose or missing insulation. If
they do, you could get a shock. The
vehicles could be dkaged, too.
iefore you connect the cables, here are
ome things you should know. Positive
t) will go to positive
(+)
and negative
-)
will go to negative
(-)
or a metal
ngine part. Don't connect
(+)
to
(-)
or
ou'll get a short that would damage the
'attery and maybe other parts, too.
