I was asked by a guy in a car park yesterday to give him a jump start as his battery had died. Was in my Passat GTE. Sure I said and opened the bonnet looking for a positive terminal. Couldn't find one so he gave up with me and went off to get someone else. When I got home I thought I'd better refer to the manual where it says that you should not use a hybrid car to jump another car for fear of "damaging the electrics". Wonder if it means the donor car electrics or patient car electrics? Either way apparently its a no no. Maybe there should be a more prominent sign to say this under the bonnet as I was unaware of this until yesterday.
Also got me thinking that your average AA technician has a lot more to think about these days with all the diverse types of car on the roads.
