OF course that system also monitors the BRAKE lights...CARS hate jump starts!

IF you really need to JUMP start a car....connect the cables & wait at least 5 minutes with the other car charging YOUR battery...then shut off the engine & try to start your car ...WHEN your car does start leave the jumper connected for another minute or 2. That will help with voltage SPIKES!
