Jump Starting
If your battery has run down, you may
want to use another vehicle and some
jumper cables to start your Geo. But
please follow the steps below to do it
safely.
NOTICE:
Ignoring these steps could result
in
costly damage to your vehicle that
wouldn't be covered by your war-
ranty.
Trying to start your Geo 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.
To Jump Start Your Geo:
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.
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
Geo, and the bad grounding could
damage the electrical systems.
3. Turn
off the ignition on both vehicles.
Turn off all lights that aren't needed,
and radios. This will avoid sparks and
help save both batteries. And it could
save your radio!
