How to Jump Start a Cadillac LYRIQ

Steps from the 2026 Cadillac LYRIQ owner's manual.

  1. Check that the other vehicle has a 12-volt battery with a negative ground system.
  2. Park the vehicles close enough for the cables to reach, but not touching, set both parking brakes and put both in P (Park).
  3. Turn off both vehicles, unplug unneeded accessories, and switch off the radio and unneeded lights.
  4. Open the hood, pull the handle to release the clips, and remove the cover over the battery terminals.
  5. Check that the jumper cables have no loose or missing insulation.
  6. Connect one end of the red positive (+) cable to the discharged battery positive (+) terminal, keeping the other end off metal.
