Remote Jump Start Terminal

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Jaguar XKR, 2011 Jaguar XK, 2010 Jaguar XKR, and 2010 Jaguar XK. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The positive battery cable is also connected to a remote jump start terminal. The remote jump start terminal is located in the left-hand (LH) rear corner of the luggage compartment and can be accessed by removing the air vent trim. Although also fitted to coupe vehicles, the terminal has been specifically designed to allow a convertible vehicle to be jump started if a drained battery is experienced when the top is in the stowed condition.

The starter motor power lead is also connected to the remote jump start terminal and is insulated from the battery jump start cable and the vehicle body by a nylon washer.

The negative jump start connection is a stud located in the spare wheel well. For more information on jump start procedure, refer to the Owner's Handbook.
