Hi
I need to use my C6 to jump start a motorhome. I can see in the C6 manual that there are positive and negative points under the bonnet that should be used if the C6 itself needs jump starting. Do I still use these if I'm jump starting another vehicle from the C6, or do I need to go to the actual battery terminals in the boot?
Thanks
John

You'll struggle to get jump leads on the battery, there's very little space, especially with the voltage checking unit on one terminal.
I'd use the terminals under the bonnet.

I used the ones under the bonnet without any problems. Believe it is right. I have measured battery starting capacity both there and at the battery. Not much difference.

I do it all the time from the posts under the bonnet.
