Connect the - cable from the negative battery terminal on the "live" battery to a clean bare metal part on the "dead" car. Make sure it wil not be touched when "dead" car starts
I think the negative terminal is under the fuse box to the left; you can barely get to it. However to jump from or to the Silhouette, you don't need the negative terminal. To jump the Silhouette, just attach the negative cable to metal, preferably of the engine block. To jump from the Silhouette, attach the negative cable to the large bolt about 10 inches to the right of the battery.
Under the hood on the driver side are positive and negative jump start posts. The cables attach there.
If the battery is not under the hood, there will be jump start posts to attach to.
