How to Jump Start a Cadillac LYRIQ
Steps from the 2026 Cadillac LYRIQ owner's manual.
- Check that the other vehicle has a 12-volt battery with a negative ground system.
- Park the vehicles close enough for the cables to reach, but not touching, set both parking brakes and put both in P (Park).
- Turn off both vehicles, unplug unneeded accessories, and switch off the radio and unneeded lights.
- Open the hood, pull the handle to release the clips, and remove the cover over the battery terminals.
- Check that the jumper cables have no loose or missing insulation.
- Connect one end of the red positive (+) cable to the discharged battery positive (+) terminal, keeping the other end off metal.
- The manual's connection order is: discharged battery positive (+), good battery positive (+), good battery negative (−), then discharged battery negative (−) grounding point.
- Connecting or removing the cables in the wrong order can cause electrical shorting and damage the vehicle.
- The provided pages end after the first cable connection; the remaining steps are not shown.
