274 VEHICLE CARE
Caution
Ignoring these steps could result in
costly damage to the vehicle that
would not be covered by the vehicle
warranty. Trying to start the vehicle
by pushing or pulling it will not
work, and it could damage the
vehicle.
The vehicle has a battery cover which
must be removed to gain access to the
battery for jump starting.
1. Clips
2. Pivot Points
To remove the battery cover: 1. Release the two rear clips (1).
2. Lift the battery cover up toward the front of the vehicle to release
it from the pivot points (2) and
remove.
3. Reverse Steps 1 and 2 to reinstall the battery cover.
The vehicle has a remote positive (+)
terminal under a trim cover. It is
under the battery cover on the driver
side of the engine compartment. See
Engine Compartment Overview 0224.
Always use this remote positive
terminal.
The vehicle has a remote negative (−)
ground location. It is located on the
driver side of the engine
compartment. See Engine Compartment
Overview 0224. Always use this
remote ground location, instead of the
terminal on the battery.
These posts are used instead of a
direct connection to the battery.
1. Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-volt battery with a
negative ground system.

VEHICLE CARE 275
Caution
If the other vehicle does not have a
12-volt system with a negative
ground, both vehicles can be
damaged. Only use a vehicle that
has a 12-volt system with a
negative ground for jump starting.
2. Position the two vehicles so that they are not touching.
3. Set the parking brake firmly. Vehicles with an automatic
transmission should be in
P (Park). See Shifting Into
Park 0180.
Caution
If any accessories are left on or
plugged in during the jump starting
procedure, they could be damaged.
The repairs would not be covered
by the vehicle warranty. Whenever
possible, turn off or unplug all
accessories on either vehicle when
jump starting. 4. Turn the ignition to OFF and
switch off all lights and
accessories in both vehicles,
except the hazard warning
flashers if needed.
{Warning
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.
{Warning
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.
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.
{Warning
Fans or other moving engine parts
can injure you badly. Keep your
hands away from moving parts
once the engine is running.
5. Connect one end of the red positive (+) cable to the jump
start remote positive (+) terminal
for the discharged battery.
6. Connect the other end of the red positive (+) cable to the
positive (+) terminal of the good
battery.
7. Connect one end of the black negative (–) cable to the negative
(–) terminal of the good battery.
8. Connect the other end of the black negative (–) cable to the
remote negative (–) post for the
discharged battery.
