2. Get the vehicles close 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 vehicle, and the bad grounding could
damage the electrical systems.
Put
an
automatic transaxle
in
PARK
(P) or a
manual
transaxle in NEUTRAL (N).
3.
T u r n
off the ignition on both vehicles.
T u r n
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.

CAU-ION:
An electric fan can start up even when the engine
is not running and can injure you. Keep hands,
clothing and tools away from any underhood
electric fan.
4. Find the positive
(+)
and negative
(-)
terminals on
each battery. Your vehicle 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.
