WARNING
Electric fans can start up even

the vehicle that would not be
covered by the warranty.
Trying to start the vehicle by
pushing or pulling it will not
work, and it could damage the

Jump Starting the Volt
If the Volt will not start, the 12-volt

transmission, place the vehicle
in Neutral and set the parking
brake.
