If your battery has run down, you may want to use another vehicle and
some jumper cables
to start your Cadillac . But please follow the steps
below
to do it safely.
-
NOTICE:
Ignoring these steps could result in costly damage to your
vehicle that wouldn’t be covered by your warranty.
Trying to start your Cadillac by pushing or pulling it won’t
work, and it could damage your vehicle.
TO JUMP START YOUR CXDILLAC:
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.

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 lights, radio, or any
accessories that are in use on both vehicles. This will avoid sparks and
help save both batteries. And it could avoid damage to any
of the
accessories.
NOTICE:
If you leave your radio on, it could be badly damaged. The
repairs wouldn’t be covered by your warranty.

4. Open the hoods and locate the batteries.
