Pontiac 2002 Grand Prix - Manual (Page 231)

5-7
Before you connect the cables, here are some basic
things you should know. Positive (+) will go to
positive (+) or to a remote positive (+) terminal if the
vehicle has one. Negative will go to a heavy, unpainted
metal engine part or to a remote negative (
- ) terminal
if the vehicle has one.
Don’t connect positive (+) to negative ( - ), or you’ll
get a short that would damage the battery and maybe
other parts, too. And don’t connect the negative (
- )
cable to the negative ( - ) terminal on the dead battery
because this can cause sparks.
6. 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.
