I would remove the battery and have it tested / replaced if no good. While it is out have an easy access battery maintainer installed and keep the maintainer on it when you are not driving it...you won't have continued battery problems. Sounds like a lot of work but if you have a bad battery its not worth attempting a jump start...jumping puts a tremendous jolt on the receiving car that could blow some of your electronics. If you must, trickel charge the battery before thinking about a jump!

In the engine bay on the right side wall the black shield easily comes off and there is a jump terminal.

Does anyone know the proper procedure to jump start a 355? Anything to be aware of? Where is the jump terminal? Is it better to remove and charge the battery? Is the car suppose to come with a jack? I was going to remove the battery but it is in the wheelwell and the tire needs to be removed correct?
