Preparations For Jump-Start
• The battery in your vehicle is located between the left front headlight assembly and the left
front wheel splash shield. To allow jump-starting there are remote battery posts located on the
left side of the engine compartment.
1. Set the parking brake, shift the automatic
transmission into PARK and turn the ignition
to LOCK.
2. Turn off the heater, radio, and all unneces-
sary electrical accessories.
3. Remove the protective cover over the re-
mote positive (+) battery post. To remove
the cover, press the locking tab and pull
upward on the cover.
4. If using another vehicle to jump-start the
battery, park the vehicle within the jumper
cables reach, set the parking brake and
make sure the ignition is OFF.
Jump-Starting Procedure
1. Connect the positive (+) end of the jumper cable to the remote positive (+) post of the
discharged vehicle.
2. Connect the opposite end of the positive (+) jumper cable to the positive (+) post of the
booster battery.
3. Connect the negative end (-) of the jumper cable to the negative (-) post of the booster
battery.
4. Connect the opposite end of the negative (-) jumper cable to the remote negative (-) post of
the vehicle with the discharged battery.
5. Start the engine in the vehicle that has the booster battery, let the engine idle a few minutes,
and then start the engine in the vehicle with the discharged battery.

the discharged battery.
2. Disconnect the negative end (-) of the jumper cable from the negative (-) post of the booster
