vehicle, and the bad grounding
could damage the electrical
systems.

To avoid the possibility of the
vehicles rolling, set the parking
brake firmly on both vehicles
involved in the jump start
procedure. Put an automatic
transmission in P (Park) or a
manual transmission in Neutral
before setting the parking brake.
If one of the vehicles is a
four-wheel-drive vehicle, be
sure the transfer case is not
in Neutral.

Notice:

If any accessories are left

on or plugged in during the jump
starting procedure, they could be
damaged. The repairs would not
be covered by the vehicle
warranty. Whenever possible,
turn off or unplug all accessories
on either vehicle when jump
starting the vehicle.

3. Turn off the ignition on both

vehicles. Unplug unnecessary
accessories plugged into the

cigarette lighter or the accessory
power outlets. Turn off the radio
and all lamps that are not
needed. This will avoid sparks
and help save both batteries.
And it could save the radio!

4. Open the hoods and locate the

positive (+) and negative (

)

terminal locations on the other
vehicle. Your vehicle has a
remote positive (+) and a remote
negative (

) jump starting

terminal. See

Using a match near a battery can

Use a flashlight if you need
more light.

WARNING (Continued)

Be sure the batteries have
enough water. You do not need
to add water to the ACDelco

®

battery (or batteries) installed in
your new vehicle. But if a battery
has filler caps, be sure the right
amount of fluid is there. If it is low,
add water to take care of that
first. If you do not, explosive gas
could be present.

Battery fluid contains acid that
can burn you. Do not get it on
you. If you accidentally get it in
your eyes or on your skin, flush
the place with water and get
medical help immediately.
