1. Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-volt

battery with a negative ground system.

NOTICE:

If the other system isn’t a 12-volt system with a

negative ground, both vehicles can be damaged.

If you have a diesel engine vehicle with two batteries

(or more) you should know before you begin that,

especially in cold weather, you may not be able to

get enough power from a single battery in another

vehicle to start your diesel engine.

If your vehicle has more than one battery, use the

battery that is under the hood of the vehicle -- this

will reduce the electrical resistance.

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 vehicle, and the bad grounding could

damage the electrical systems.

To avoid the possibility of the vehicles rolling, set

the parking brake firmly on both vehicles involved in

the jump start procedure. Put your automatic

transmission in PARK (P).

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 could save

your radio.
