* Battery Condition: The most important factor is the health of your Alero's battery. If its battery is weak or dying, it won't have enough power to successfully jump start another car. A weak battery could even be damaged further in the process.
* Correct Procedure: You must follow the correct jump-starting procedure carefully. Connecting the cables incorrectly can damage the electrical systems of both cars.
* Engine Size of the Other Car: Jumping a car with a much larger engine (especially a diesel) might strain your Alero's battery and alternator.
In short: It's *possible*, but only if your Alero's battery is in good condition and you follow proper jump-starting procedures. If you're unsure, it's best to err on the side of caution and seek assistance from someone experienced or use a professional jump-starting service.
