JUMP-ST AR TING

• If your vehicle has a discharged battery

it can be jump-started using a set of

jumper cables and a battery in another

vehicle or by using a portable battery

booster pack.

• Jump-starting can be dangerous if

done improperly so please follow the

procedures in this section carefully.

NOTE: When using a portable battery

booster pack follow the manufacturer's

operating instructions and precautions.

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.

• Set the parking brake, shift the automatic transmission into PARK and turn the

ignition to LOCK.

• Turn off the heater, radio, and all unnecessary electrical accessories.

• Remove the protective cover over the remote positive (+) battery post. To remove

the cover, press the locking tab and pull upward on the cover.

• 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

• Connect the positive (+) end of the jumper cable to the remote positive (+) post of

the discharged vehicle.

• Connect the opposite end of the positive (+) jumper cable to the positive (+) post

of the booster battery.

• Connect the negative end (-) of the jumper cable to the negative (-) post of the

booster battery.

• Connect the opposite end of the negative (-) jumper cable to the remote negative

(-) post of the vehicle with the discharged battery.

• 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.

Once the engine is started, remove the jumper cables in the reverse sequence:

• Disconnect the negative (-) jumper cable from the remote negative (-) post of the

vehicle with the discharged battery.

• Disconnect the negative end (-) of the jumper cable from the negative (-) post of

the booster battery.
