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:
I You could be injured if the vehicles roll. Set the parking brake
firmly on each vehicle. Put an automatic transmission in
“P”
