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.
7. Don’t let the other end touch metal. Connect it to the
positive
(+) terminal of the good battery. Use a
remote positive
(+) terminal if the vehicle has one.
But don’t use the junction block on your Chevrolet.
8. Now connect the black negative (-) cable to the good
battery’s negative
(-) terminal.
Don’t let the other end touch
anything until the next
step.
The other end of the negative cable doesn’t go to
the dead battery. It goes to a heavy unpainted metal part
on the engine of the vehicle with the dead battery.
9. Attach the cable at least 18 inches (45 cm) away
from the dead battery, but not near engine parts that
move. The electrical connection is just as good
there, but the chance of sparks getting back to the
battery
is much less.
10. Now start the vehicle with the good battery and run
the engine
for a while.
11. Try to start the vehicle with the dead battery.
If it won’t start after a few tries, it probably needs
service.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When your vehicle is being towed, have the ignition
key off. The steering wheel should be clamped in a
straight-ahead position, with a clamping device
designed for towing service.
Do not use the car’s
steering column lock for this. The transmission should
be in “Neutral” and the parking brake released.
Don’t have your vehicle towed
on the rear wheels,
unless you must.
If the vehicle must be towed on the
rear wheels, don’t go more than
35 mph (55 km/h) or
farther than 50 miles (80 km) or your transmission will
be damaged.
If these limits must be exceeded, then the
rear wheels have to be supported on
a dolly.
