Using a match near a battery
4 L can cause battery gas to
explode. Peopk have been hurt
doing this, and some have been
blinded. Use a flashlight if you need
more light.
Be sure the battery has enough
water. You don’t need to add water
to the Delco Freedom@ battery
installed in every new GM vehicle.
But if a battery has filler caps, be
sure the right amount of fluid is
there. lf it is low, add wafer to take
care of that first. If you don’t,
explcrsive gas could be present.
Battery fluid contains acid that can
burn you. Don’t 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.
5. Check that the jumper cables don’t
have loose or missing insulation.
If
they do, you could get a shock. The
vehicles could be damaged, too.
Before you connect the cables, here are
some things you should know. Positive
(+) will go to positive (+) and negative
(-) will go to negative (-) or a metal
engine part.
Don’t connect
(+) to (-) or you’ll get a
short that would damage the battery
and maybe other parts, too.
Fans or other moving engine
A parts can injure you badly.
Keep your hands away
from
moving parts once the engines are
running.
6. Connect the red positive (+) cable to
the positive
(+) terminal of the
vehicle with the dead battery.
Use a remote positive
(+) terminal if
the vehicle has one.

Battery
Every new Chevrolet has a Delco
Freedom@ battery. You never have to
add water to one of these. When it’s
time for a new battery, we recommend a
Delco Freedom@ battery. Get one that
has the catalog number shown on the
original battery’s label.

for
25 days or more, take off the black,
