How to Jump Start a Saturn Vue

Extremely cold outside temperatures or leaving the lights on while the motor is off, are factors that may cause the battery in a Saturn Vue to lose its charge. In the event that this happens, you will need to perform a jump start to get the Vue up and running. Exercise caution when performing a jump start because there is a risk, albeit remote, that an explosion may occur.

Instructions

    1

    Open the Saturn Vues hood and locate the terminals on the battery.

    2

    Move the operational vehicle close enough to the Vue that the jumper cables can reach between them.

    3

    Connect one of the jumper cables red clamps to the positive (+) terminal on the dead battery, and then connect the other red clamp to the positive terminal on the jumper vehicles battery.

    4

    On the jumper vehicles battery, connect a black clamp to the negative (-) terminal and then connect the other black clamp to an unpainted metal surface on the engine block to ground the connection.

    5

    After five to 10 minutes, start the Saturn Vue. Idle the engine for another five to 10 minutes before disconnecting the jumper cables.

    6

    Disconnect the jumper cables by reversing the above steps. Close the hood. The jump start process is now complete.
