1.
Check the other vehicle.
It
must have a 12-volt
battery with a negative ground system.
3.
Turn
off
the ignition on both vehicles.
Turn
off
all
lamps that aren’t needed, and radios. This
will
avoid
sparks and help save both batteries. And it could
save your radio!
NOTICE:
If
the other system isn’t a 12-volt system with a
negative ground, both vehicles can be damaged.
2.
Get the vehicles close enough
so
the jumper cables
can reach, but be sure the vehicles aren’t touching
each other.
If
they are, it could cause a ground
connection you don’t want. You wouldn’t be able to
start your Buick, and the bad grounding could
damage the electrical Systems.
NOTICE:
If
you leave your radio on, it could be badly
damaged. The repairs wouldn’t be covered
by
your warranty.
4.
Open the hoqds and locate the batteries. Find the
positive
(+)
and negative
(-)
teknals on each
battery.
