Below is a link to a manual for a 2007 Volvo XC90. Page 136 discusses the procedure, which is similar to the process for other cars. http://www.analogstereo.com/pdf/om/volvo_xc90_owners_manual_2007.pdf Even though the battery is located in the back of the car, there's a positive terminal under the hood in front should be used. Exercise caution and follow standard jump start procedures (such as not letting the cars touch, turning off all components like the radio, fan, et in the cars), but the following setup has worked: # Connect the red cable to the positive terminal of the disabled car # Connect the other side of the red cable to the positive terminal of the boosting car # Connect the black cable to the negative terminal of the disabled car (Volvo) # Connect the other side of the black cable to a metallic part on the boosting car (Volvo) # Start the Volvo/Boosting car # Attempt to start the disabled car
Starter cables
To jumpstart a car, firstly you need jumper cables. You will connect the jumper cables to the Volvos battery and connect the other end of the cables to another cars battery and give that car gas to help send a jolt to the Volvo.
A 1996 Buick Regal will jump start using a portable battery pack. Another person can also use jumper cables to help jump start another car.
Under the hood on the drivers side there is a Positive cable connector under a black cap near the fuse/relay box. Connect you positive (+) jumper there first. Then, WITH THE KEY OFF! connect your negative (-) jumper to the big aluminum mount on the left top of the engine. Now use the key and jump start as any other car. Make sure the key is off so as not to suddenly send a spike of voltage into the CanBus network when connecting the cables!
Yes
The Battery is mounted in the boot (trunk) of this vehicle. To access you need to go into the boot, lift the rear cover off (from the floor) You should see the battery sitting in the middle of the rear (with a black plastic cover) N.B. you can jump start this vehicle from the engine bay - where a positive feed (marked in red) is located by the front fuse board.
Sounds right
Jump starting a Pontiac include jumper cables and another vehicle with a battery. A person will need to put jumper cables on each car battery to jump start it.
Hook the cables to the jump start posts under the hood. They are labled with a + and -
Considering that this is in the car starting problems category, I am assuming you mean a Jump Box to start a car. In this case, a jump box is a device with a battery and attached cables that can be used to jump start your car. This is used when a car battery has died. Another alternative is to use jumper cables with another car.
The starter on a car requires a lot of electrical current to rotate the engine fast enough for it to start. When the car's battery doesn't have enough electricity to do this a battery from another car or another source of electrical current can be supplied (jumpered) to the car to "jump start" it.
Jump start it from another vehicle or charge the battery. If the battery is bad, replace it. If you jump start it and the battery is dead you will have to wait about 15 minutes with the jump car running and connected to the dead battery, in order to build the battery up enough for it to actually take a jump.
