If you carry reflective triangles, you can set one up at

Jump Starting
If your battery has run down, you may want to use
another vehicle and
some jumper cables to start your
Geo. But please follow the steps below to do it safely.
NOTICE:
Ignoring these steps could result in costly damage
to
your vehicle that wouldn’t be covered by your
warranty.
Wying to start your Geo by pushing or pulling it
could damage your vehicle, even if you have a
manual transmission. And if you have an
automatic transmission, it won’t start that way.
To Jump Start Your Geo:
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 Geo, and the bad grounding could damage
the electrical systems.

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.
