Jump starting from an A6

[UVB]

In the car manual it mentions some points under the bonnet which you are meant to connect jump leads to if you are jump starting the A6. Having recently had to jump start a couple of people and knowing what a pain it is to connect to the battery due to the cover that's strapped to it, does anyone know if it's possible to use the under bonnet points to jump start another car?

Have you had a look under the bonnet, shoule be a red plastic cover with a + on it along the inner wing, drivers side. !BUT! Not every engine option has the underbonnet connections, I was charging the battery on a 2.4 petrol today, we've never seen one before. And it could only be dont in the boot.

Haven't looked under the bonnet yet as I thought I'd check it can be done first. Just to be clear, the A6 doesn't need charging; I want to know if I can use these terminals to take charge from the A6 to another car.
