AKENG44_Escalade Page 355 Wednesday, July 16, 2008 12:22 PM Section 5 To jump start your vehicle, follow these steps: NOTICE Ignoring these steps could result in costly damage to your vehicle. The repairs would not be covered by your warranty. 1. Get the vehicles close enough so the jumper cables can reach. Be sure the vehicles aren't touching each other. CAUTION To ensure that the vehicles do not roll, set the parking brake firmly on both vehicles involved in the jump starting procedure. Shift an automatic transmission into P (Park) and a manual transmission into N (Neutral) before setting the parking brake. 2. Turn off the ignition on both vehicles. Turn off the radios and all lights that aren't needed. NOTICE If you leave the radio or other accessories on, they could be badly damaged. The repairs would not be covered by your warranty. CAUTION An electric cooling fan can start even if the engine is not running. Be careful around any underhood electric fan. – – – Unplug any accessories that are plugged into the cigarette lighter or the accessory power outlets. – – 355 . . .
