To Jump Start Your h i c k
1. Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-volt
battery with a negative ground system.
3. Turn off the ignition on both vehicles. Turn off all
lamps that aren't needed, and radios. This
will avoid
sparks and help save both batteries. And
it could
save your radio!
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 Buick, and the bad grounding could
damage the electrical Systems.
NOTICE:
If you leave your radio on, it could be badly
damaged. The repairs wouldn't be covered by
your warranty.
4. Open the hoqds and locate the batteries. Find the
positive
(+)
and negative
(-)
t e k n a l s on each
battery.
