212Vehicle careJump start terminal
In the event of a discharged vehicle
battery, the jump start terminal
enables the vehicle to be started
without the need to access the battery inside the vehicle.
The jump start terminal is located in
the engine compartment and
identified by a " <" sign on the red
insulating cover. Lift the red insulating
cover to access the terminal
connector.
Ensure the red insulating cover is
latched back into position when not in
use.
Jump starting procedure
Depending on model, the jump start
terminal may be located at the left-
hand or right-hand side of the engine
compartment.
Lead connection order:
1. Connect the red lead to the positive terminal (1) of the booster
battery.
2. Connect the other end of the red lead to the jump start terminal (2)
of the vehicle with the discharged
vehicle battery.
3. Connect the black lead to the negative terminal (3) of the
booster battery.
4. Connect the other end of the black
lead to a vehicle grounding point
(4), such as the engine block or an
engine mounting bolt. Connect as
Vehicle care213far away from the discharged
vehicle battery as possible,
however at least 60 cm.
