Buick 2009 Enclave - Manual (Page 315)

7. Connect the red positive (+) cable to the positive (+)
terminal location 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 location on the vehicle with
the good battery. Use a remote positive (+) terminal if
the vehicle has one.
9. Now connect the black negative ( − ) cable to the
negative ( − ) terminal location on the vehicle with
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 at
least 18 inches (45 cm) away from the dead battery,
but not near engine parts that move. The electrical
connection is just as good there, and the chance
of sparks getting back to the battery is much less.
11. Now start the vehicle with the good battery and run
the engine for a while.
12. Try to start the vehicle that had the dead battery.
If it will not start after a few tries, it probably needs
service.
