2009 GMC ENVOY hood open

Notice:If you leave the radio or other accessories
on during the jump starting procedure, they could be
damaged. The repairs would not be covered by the
warranty. Always turn off the radio and other
accessories when jump starting the vehicle.
3. Turn off the ignition on both vehicles. Unplug
unnecessary accessories plugged into the cigarette
lighter or the accessory power outlets, if equipped.
Turn off the radio and all lamps that are not
needed. This will avoid sparks and help to save
both batteries. And it could save the radio!
4. Open both hoods and locate the batteries. Find
the positive (+) and negative (−) terminals on
each battery. Your vehicle has a remote negative (−)
jump starting terminal. You should always use
this remote terminal instead of the terminal on the
battery. The remote negative (−) terminal is
located on the front engine lift bracket on vehicles
with the 4.2L L6 engine or the engine accessory
drive bracket for vehicles with the 5.3L V8 engine,
and is marked GND (Ground). SeeEngine
Compartment Overview on page 5-12for more
information on location.
{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 ashlight 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 ller caps, be
sure the right amount of uid is there. If it is low,
add water to take care of that rst. If you do not,
explosive gas could be present.
