1994 PONTIAC GRAND-AM radio

NOTICE:
Ignoring these steps could result in
costly damage to your vehicle that
wouldn’t be covered by your
warranty.
Trying to start your Pontiac by
pushing or pulling it could damage
your vehicle, even if you have a
manual transaxle. And
if you have
an automatic transaxle,
it won’t start
that way.
To Jump Start Your
Pontiac:
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
Pontiac, 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!
NOTICE:
If you leave your radio on, it could
be badly damaged. The repairs
wouldn’t be covered by your
warranty.
4. Open the hoods and locate the
batteries. Find the positive (+) and
negative
(-) terminals on each battery.
To uncover the positive
(+) terminal,
lift the red plastic cap.
