NOTICE:
Ignoring these steps could result in costly damage
to your vehicle that wouldn't be covered by
your warranty.
Trying to start your Chevrolet by pushing or
pulling it could damage your vehicle, even if you
have
a
manual transmission. And if you have an
automatic transmission, it won't start that way.
1. Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-volt
battery with a negative ground system.
NOTICE:
If the other system isn't a 12-volt system with a
negative ground, both vehicles can be damaged.
2.
3.
Get the vehicles close enough so the jumper cables
can reach, but be sure the vehicles aren't touching
each other. If they are, it could cause a ground
connection you don't want. You wouldn't be able to
start your Chevrolet, and the bad grounding could
damage the electrical systems.
Turn off the ignition on both vehicles. Unplug
-
-
unnecessary accessories plugged into the cigarette
lighter. Turn off all lamps that aren't needed as well
as radios. This will avoid sparks and help save both
batteries. And it could save your radio!
~~
NOTICE:
If you leave your radio on,
it could be badly
damaged. The repairs wouldn't be covered by
your warranty.
