4. Open the hoods and locate the positive (+) and
negative (−) terminal locations on each vehicle.
Your vehicle has a remote positive (+) terminal (A)
and a remote negative (−) terminal (B), as shown
in the illustration, which should be used to jump start
your vehicle.
The remote positive (+) terminal (A) can be accessed
by opening the cover of the engine compartment
fuse block.The remote negative (−) terminal (B) is located
underneath the engine cover, below the engine oil
ll cap.
SeeEngine Compartment Overview on page 5-12
for the location of the engine compartment fuse
block and engine oil ll cap.
You will not need to access the battery for jump
starting. The remote terminals are for that purpose.
{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.

Notice:If the jumper cables are connected or
removed in the wrong order, electrical shorting may
occur and damage the vehicle. The repairs would
not be covered by your warranty. Always connect
and remove the jumper cables in the correct
order, making sure that the cables do not touch
each other or other metal.
A. Heavy, Unpainted Metal Engine Part or Remote
Negative (−) Terminal
B. Good Battery or Remote Positive (+) and
Negative (−) Terminals
C. Dead Battery or Remote Positive (+) TerminalTo disconnect the jumper cables from both vehicles,
do the following:
1. Disconnect the black negative (−) cable from the
vehicle that had the dead battery.
2. Disconnect the black negative (−) cable from the
vehicle with the good battery.
3. Disconnect the red positive (+) cable from the
vehicle with the good battery.
4. Disconnect the red positive (+) cable from the other
vehicle.
5. Return the engine fuse block cover to its original
position.
6. You may also need to initialize the power windows.
See “Power Window Initialize” underPower
Windows on page 2-17for more information.

Headlamp Wiring
The headlamp wiring is protected by fuses. An electrical
overload will cause the lamps to remain off. If this
happens, have your headlamp wiring checked right away.
Windshield Wiper Fuses
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a fuse and
an internal circuit breaker. If the motor overheats due to
heavy snow, etc., the wiper will stop until the motor cools.
If the overload is caused by some electrical problem and
not snow, etc., be sure to get it xed.
Power Windows and Other
Power Options
Circuit breakers protect the power seats, power
windows, and other power accessories. When the
current load is too heavy, the circuit breaker opens and
closes, protecting the circuit until the problem is xed
or goes away.
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by a combination of J-Case fuses,
mini-fuses and circuit breakers. This greatly reduces the
chance of res caused by electrical problems.
Look at the silver-colored band inside the fuse. If the
band is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure you
replace a bad fuse with a new one of the identical
size and rating.
If you ever have a problem on the road and do not have
a spare fuse, you can borrow one that has the same
amperage. Just pick some feature of your vehicle
that you can get along without — like the radio or
cigarette lighter — and use its fuse, if it is the correct
amperage. Replace it as soon as you can.

Instrument Panel Fuse Block
The instrument panel fuse block is located on the passenger’s side of the vehicle, under the instrument panel and
under the toe-board.
Remove the carpet and toe-board covering to access the fuse block by pulling at the top of each corner of the panel.
Open the fuse block cover to access the fuses.
You can remove fuses using the fuse puller.
