Get the vehicles cbse enough so the jumper cables
can reach, but be sure the
vehicles aren't touching
each other. If they are, it could cause a
ground
connection you
don't want.
You wouldn't be able to
start your
Pontiac, and the bad grounding
could
damage the electrical systems.
You could be injured
if
the vehicles roll. Set the
parking brake firmly on each vehicle. Put an
automatic transaxle in PARK (P) or a manual
transaxle in NEUTRAL (N).
Turn off the ignition on both vehicles. Turn off all
lamps that aren't needed, and radios. This will avoid
sparks and help save both batteries. And it could
save your radio!
NOTICE:
If you leave your radio on, it could be badly
damaged. The repairs wouldn't be covered by
your warranty.
4.. Open the hoods and
locate the batteries.
5 . Find the positive
(+)
and negative
(-)
terminals on
each battery. Your Pontiac has a remote positive
(+)
jump starting terminal. The terminal
is
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 uncover the remote positive
(+)
terminal, lift the
red plastic cap.
