Jump Starting: Service and Repair

Jump Starting



The 12-Volt auxiliary battery may be jump started if the vehicle does not start and the instrument cluster gauges are dim or off after depressing the brake pedal and pushing the power button.

The 12-Volt auxiliary battery is located in the cargo area. The rear hatch door will not unlock or open if the auxiliary battery is discharged. Instead, an accessible remote 12-Volt auxiliary battery positive terminal is provided in the engine compartment junction block, as illustrated, for jump starting.

- Remove the junction block cover and connect the positive jumper cable to the positive terminal in the junction block.

- Connect the negative terminal to the ground nut.

- The high voltage HV battery pack cannot be jump started.
