The following instructions assume you are using an
external low voltage power supply (such as a portable
jump starter). If jump starting Model X using another
vehicle, refer to the vehicle manufacturer's instructions.
CAUTION: Model X cannot be used to jump start
another vehicle. Doing so can result in damage.
CAUTION: Avoid short circuits when jump starting
Model X. Connecting cables to the wrong jump
post, touching leads together, etc., can damage
Model X.
Follow these steps:
1. Open the hood.
2. Remove the maintenance panel by pulling it upwards
to release the trim clips that hold it in place.
3.
On top of the low voltage battery, lift the locking tab
that attaches the electrical connector to the
connector housing.
NOTE: The appearance of the electrical connector
and connector housing may vary, but the procedure
remains the same.
4.
On top of the low voltage battery, pull the connector
housing to the left. The electrical connector releases
from the low voltage battery.
5.
Lay a dry cloth on top of the metal beams
surrounding the positive (+) terminal connector. The
terminal connector is located under the wiper motor
and white, rectangular
fluid reservoir.
6. Reach around and under the wiper motor to release
the cover from the red positive (+) jump post, and
then connect the low voltage power supply's red
positive (+) cable to the red positive (+) jump post.
CAUTION:
To avoid damaging Model X, do not
allow the positive cable to contact other metal
components.
NOTE: Depending on date of manufacture, the cover
and the red positive (+) jump post location may dier
slightly.
