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 Aurora, and the bad grounding could
damage the electrical systems.
You could be injured
if the vehicle rolls. Set the
parking brake firmly on each vehicle. Put an
automatic transaxle in PARK (P) or a manual
transaxle in NEUTRAL
(N).
3.
Turn off the ignition on both vehicles. Unplug
unnecessary accessories plugged into the cigarette
lighter or accessory power outlet. 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.
I
NOTICE:
If
you leave your radio on, it could be badly
damaged. The repairs wouldn’t be covered by
your warranty.
