Hope you guys are enjoying your labor day holiday and are barbequing.
I would never try to jump-start an X with a dead battery. The power surge from the other car alternator along with your dead battery is sometimes a perfect storm to fry some electronic components. Better to take the battery out or hookup a charger at the jump points to slowly recharge the battery.
