Volvo Owners Club Forum - View Single Post - Very basic question about jump starting 2008 V70

Percival12 · Feb 17th, 2020, 19:01

I haven't thought about jump starting for years, but our last car had a battery die (terminally) on us just before the shops shut a few years back, without warning, so I am trying to do some revision.

There's plenty of articles on line about jump starting Volvos. I notice they all use a jump-start pack. Also there is a warning about following manufacturer's procedures.

This is something I can't find.

Are there any special caveats about jump starting this model from another car? I hope never to have to, but think I should ask the questions.

Many thanks for any advice.
