Trying to start your Cadillac by pushing or pulling it won’t work, and it
could damage your vehicle.
TO JUMP STAlzT YOUR CADILLAC:
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 Cadillac, and the bad grounding could damage the electrical
systems.
A CAUTION:
You could be injured if the vehicles roll. Set the parking brake
firmly on each vehicle. Put an automatic transaxle in
“P”
(Park).
3. Turn off the ignition on both vehicles. Turn off all lights that aren’t
needed, and radios.
This will avoid sparks and help save both
batteries.
And it could save your radio!

they do, you could get a shock. The vehicles could be damaged, too.
Before you connect the cables, here are some basic things you should
know. Positive
(+ ) will go to positive (+) and negative (-) will go to
negative
(-) or a metal engine part. Don’t connect (+) to (-) or you’ll
get a short that would damage the battery and maybe other parts, too.
A CAUTION:
Fans or other moving engine parts can injure you badly. Keep
your hands away from moving parts once the engines are
running.

negative
(-) terminal.
Don’t let the other end touch anything until the next step. The other
end
of the negative cable doesn’t go to the dead battery. It goes to a
heavy unpainted metal part on the engine
of the vehicle with the dead
battery.
10. Attach the cable at
least
18 inches
(45cm) away from
the dead battery,
but not near engine
parts that move.
The electrical
connection is just as
good there, but the
chance
of sparks
getting back to the
battery is much
less.

If it won’t start after a few tries, it probably needs service.
13. Remove the cables in reverse order to prevent electrical shorting.
Take care that they don’t touch each other or any other metal.
