4. Open the hood on the other vehicle and locate the

positive (+) and negative (

) terminal locations on

that vehicle.

You will not see the battery of your vehicle under
the hood. It is located under the rear passenger’s
seat. You will not need to access the battery for
jump starting. The remote positive (+) terminal is for
that purpose.

Open the hood on your vehicle and find the
remote positive (+) terminal located in the engine
compartment on the passenger’s side of the vehicle.

Access the remote
positive (+) terminal by
removing the cover.

CAUTION:

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.

CAUTION:

Using a match near a battery can cause battery
gas to explode. People have been hurt doing
this, and some have been blinded. Use a
flashlight if you need more light.

Be sure the battery has enough water. You do
not need to add water to the battery installed
in your new vehicle. But if a battery has filler
caps, be sure the right amount of fluid is there.
If it is low, add water to take care of that first.
If you do not, explosive gas could be present.

Battery fluid contains acid that can burn you.
Do not get it on you. If you accidentally get it
in your eyes or on your skin, flush the place
with water and get medical help immediately.
