  2. Go to the front of the vehicle and release the hood. Lift the hood and make sure it stays open.
  3. Locate the positive (+) on the batter or the jump start terminal.
  4. Connect the red clamp of a jump starter to the positive (+) terminal.
  5. Connect the black clamp of a jump starter to an unpainted bolt on the frame. Don’t connect it to the negative battery terminal.
  6. Turn on the jump starter.
  7. Locate the trunk, release, and open the trunk.

If the battery in your Jaguar has died or the keyfob remote will no longer work, you will need to unlock the door or trunk manually.
