Jump Starting

another vehicle and some jumper cables to start your
vehicle. Be sure to follow the steps below to do it safely.
CAUTION:

If you don't follow these steps exactly, some or
all of these things can hurt you.
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.

battery with a negative ground system.
NOTICE:
If the other system isn't a 12
negative ground, both vehicles can be damaged.
