To Jump Start Your Vehicle:
1. Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-volt battery wlm a negauve
ground system.
NOTICE:
If the other system isn't a 12-volt system with a negative
ground, both vehicles can be damaged.

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.
