ground system.
NOTICE:
If the other system isn’t a 12-volt system with a negative gro\
und,
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 Cadillac and the bad grounding could damage the electrical
systems.
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,
as well as avoid damage to any of the accessories.
4. Open the hoods and locate the batteries.
Find the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals on each battery.
