I see in the manual on how to jump a dead Grenny, but if you are going to use the Grenny to jump something else? Access the battery under the rear seat for direct access to the terminals? Surprised that it isn’t in the manual?

The jump start posts are under the bonnet on right hand side. Under the red cap is the positive terminal and on my petrol model as in the picture I use the engine lifting eye for the earth/negative connection

But to jump another car? You are supposed to hook up the good vehicle using the battery Pos and Neg, and then the red post and the ground on the donor/dead vehicle.
 
Instructions on pages 119/120 of the owners manual
“ A vehicle with a depleted battery can be started using jump leads and the battery of another vehicle. The battery is located under the rear bench seat of the vehicle, due to this, there are positive and negative terminals accessible in the engine bay.”

There is a red terminal, but is there a black? For charging the Gren it says use a ground, never mentions a black post. Is there one?
Don't.
It is a risky business with modern cars.
Buy a jump box.
We have at least one in the family, but four cars... Chances will be...

Gets back to another post, I can't believe with all the liability that 1. they even make it so that you can jump it (most cars don't have dipsticks) and 2, there isn't some kind of common 'plug'. All kinds of liability and potential for damage.

As has been mentioned. Use the positive post under the red cap and the lifting lug under the engine cover for the negative.
 
I have jumped a number of vehicles from the engine earth and the post... Accessing the battery terminals is a PITA.
