NOTICE:
Ignoring these steps could result in costly damage
to your vehicle that wouldn’t be covered by
your warranty.
Trying to start your vehicle by pushing or pulling
it won’t work, and it could damage your vehicle.
1.
Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-volt
battery with a negative ground system.
I
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 vehicle and the bad grounding could
damage the electrical systems.
3.
Turn
off
the ignition on both vehicles. Unplug
unnecessary accessories plugged into the cigarette
lighter.
Turn
off
all lamps that aren’t needed as well
as radios. This will avoid sparks and help save both
batteries. In addition,
it
could save your radio!
4.
Open the hoods and locate the batteries. Find
the
positive
(+)
and negative
(-)
terminals on
each battery.
