5. The remote positive (+)
terminal (1) is located on the
underhood fuse block, on the
driver side. Lift the red cap to
uncover the terminal.
The remote negative ( )
terminal (2) is a stud behind the
metal tab stamped with GND ( )
near the driver side strut tower.
6. The jumper cables should be in
good working condition with no
loose or missing insulation. The
vehicles could be damaged if
they are not.
7. Connect the red positive (+)
cable to the positive (+) terminal
on the vehicle with the dead
battery. Use a remote
positive (+) terminal if the
vehicle has one.
8. Do not let the other end touch
metal. Connect it to the
positive (+) terminal of the good
battery. Use a remote
positive (+) terminal if the
vehicle has one.
9. Connect the black negative ( )
cable to the negative ( ) terminal
of the good battery. Use a
remote negative ( ) terminal if
the vehicle has one.
Do not let the other end touch
anything until the next step. The
other end of the negative ( )
cable does not go to the dead
battery. It goes to a heavy,
unpainted metal engine part or
to a remote negative ( ) terminal
on the vehicle with the dead
battery.
10. Connect the other end of the
negative ( ) cable away from
the dead battery, but not near
engine parts that move.
11. Start the vehicle with the good
battery and run the engine.
12. Press the unlock symbol on the
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter to disarm the
security system, if equipped.
Vehicle Care
13. Try to start the vehicle that had
the dead battery. If it will not
start after a few tries, it needs
service.

covered by the vehicle warranty.
Always connect and remove the
jumper cables in the correct order,
making sure that the cables do
not touch each other or other
metal.
