Pontiac 2007 G6 - Manual (Page 359)

5. Check that the jumper cables do not have
loose or missing insulation. If they do, you
could get a shock. The vehicles could
be damaged too.
Before you connect the cables, here are some
things you should know. Positive (+) will go to
positive (+) or to a remote positive (+) terminal if
the vehicle has one. Negative (
−
) will go to a
heavy, unpainted metal engine part or to a
remote negative (
−
) terminal if the vehicle
has one.
Do not connect positive (+) to negative (
−
) or
you will get a short that would damage the
battery and maybe other parts too. And do
not connect the negative (
−
) cable to the
negative (
−
) terminal on the dead battery
because this can cause sparks.
{ CAUTION:
Fans or other moving engine parts can
injure you badly. Keep your hands away
from moving parts once the engine is
running.
6. Connect the red positive (+) cable to the
positive (+) terminal of the dead battery.
7. Do not let the other end touch metal. Connect it
to the positive (+) terminal of the good battery.
Use a remote positive (+) terminal if the vehicle
has one.
