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
To jump-start a Volvo XC90, first ensure both vehicles are turned off. Connect the positive (red) jumper cable to the dead battery's positive terminal and the other end to the donor battery's positive terminal. Next, attach the negative (black) cable to the donor battery's negative terminal and the other end to a grounded metal part of the XC90, away from the battery. Start the donor vehicle, then attempt to start the XC90.
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.
Yes
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!
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
To jump-start a 2002 Volvo V70, first ensure both vehicles are turned off. Connect the positive (red) jumper cable to the dead battery's positive terminal, then attach the other end to the working battery's positive terminal. Next, connect the negative (black) cable to the working battery's negative terminal and attach the other end to a metal ground point on the dead car, away from the battery. Start the working vehicle, let it run for a few minutes, then try to start the Volvo.
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.
