To Jump Start Your Buick
1. Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-volt battery
with a negative ground system.
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.
