Jump Starting Procedure (All Models)
1. Check the other vehicle. It must have a12-volt battery with a negative ground
system.
Caution
If the other vehicle does not have a
12-volt system with a negative ground,
both vehicles can be damaged. Only use
a vehicle that has a 12-volt system with a
negative ground for jump starting.
2. Get the vehicles close enough so the jumper cables can reach, but be sure the
vehicles are not touching each other.
If they are, it could cause a ground
connection you do not want. You would
not be able to start the 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
brakes.
Caution
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.
3. Turn off the ignition on both vehicles. Unplug unnecessary accessories plugged
into the accessory power outlet. 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 hood. See Hood017.
5. Release the four clips for the left and
right outer covers.
6. Release the five clips and remove theouter cover to access the battery.

7. Locate the battery positive (+) terminaland remote jump starting negative
(−) post.
8. Check that the jumper cables do not have loose or missing insulation. If they
do, you could get a shock. The vehicles
could be damaged too.
9. Open the discharged battery positive (+) terminal trim cover and connect one end
of the positive (+) cable.
10. Do not let the other end of the positive (+) cable to touch metal.
Connect it to the good battery
positive (+) terminal.
11. Connect one end of the negative (−) cable to the good battery negative (−)
terminal.
Do not let the other end touch anything
until the next step.
12. Connect the other end of the negative (−) cable to the remote jump starting
negative (−) post. 13. Start the vehicle with the good battery
and run the engine for at least
four minutes.
14. Try to start the vehicle that had the discharged battery. If it will not start
after a few tries, it probably needs
service.
Jumper Cable Removal
Reverse the sequence exactly when
removing the jumper cables.
After starting the disabled vehicle and
removing the jumper cables, allow it to idle
for several minutes.
The power windows may need to be
initialized. See “Window Indexing” under
Power Windows 029.
Jump Start Box Procedure (E-Ray Only)
If equipped with a lithium-ion battery,
another option is to use a jump start box
and/or pack to revive the battery.
Caution

the vehicle if either of the following
is done:
.The jump start box is set to ON before
beginning the jump starting procedure
.The jump start box is connected or
removed in the wrong order
The repairs would not be covered by the
vehicle warranty. Always set the jump
start box to OFF before starting the jump
starting procedure, and connect and
remove the jump start box in the correct
order, making sure that the cables do not
touch each other or other metal.
1. Set the jump start box to OFF.
2. Connect the red (+) cable to the discharged lithium-ion battery
positive (+) tab.
3. Connect the black (–) cable to the discharged lithium-ion battery negative
(–) post.

4. Once the jump start box has beenconnected, set the jump start box to ON.
After the jump start box is powered on,
ensure the instrument cluster lights up
before starting the vehicle.
5. After the instrument cluster lights up, use a GM approved battery charger to
fully charge the battery.
Jumper Cable Removal 1. Set the jump start box to OFF.
2. Disconnect the black (–) cable to the negative post (–) on the discharged
lithium-ion battery.
3. Disconnect the red (+) cable to the discharged lithium-ion battery
positive (+) tab.
Charging The 12-Volt Lithium-Ion Battery
The 12-volt lithium-ion battery can be
charged using a GM approved charger
designed for lithium-ion batteries. Follow the
instructions listed in the charger operating
manual. See Battery - North America 0266
for more information.
Towing the Vehicle
Transporting a Disabled Vehicle
Caution
Incorrectly transporting a disabled vehicle
may cause damage to the vehicle. Use
proper tire straps to secure the vehicle to
the flatbed tow truck. Do not strap or
hook to any frame, underbody,
or suspension component not specified
below. Do not move vehicles with rear
axle tires on the ground. Damage is not
covered by the vehicle warranty.
Caution
The vehicle may be equipped with an
electric parking brake and/or an
electronic shifter. In the event of a loss of
12-volt battery power, the electric parking
brake cannot be released, and the vehicle
cannot be shifted to N (Neutral). Tire
skates or dollies must be used under the
non-rolling tires to prevent damage while
loading/unloading the vehicle. Dragging
the vehicle will cause damage not
covered by the vehicle warranty.
Caution
The vehicle may be equipped with a tow
eye. Improper use of the tow eye may
cause damage to the vehicle and is not
covered by the vehicle warranty.
If equipped, use the tow eye to load the
vehicle onto a flatbed tow truck from a
flat road surface, or to move the vehicle
a very short distance at a walking pace.
The tow eye is not designed for off-road
recovery. The vehicle must be in
N (Neutral) with the electric parking
brake released when using the tow eye.
Contact a professional towing service if the
disabled vehicle must be transported. GM
recommends a flatbed tow truck to
transport a disabled vehicle. Use ramps to
help reduce approach angles, if necessary.
If equipped, a tow eye may be located near
the spare tire or emergency jack. Do not use
the tow eye to pull the vehicle from the
snow, mud, sand, or ditch. Tow eye threads
may have right or left-hand threads. Use
caution when installing or removing the
tow eye.

304 Vehicle Care
The vehicle must be in N (Neutral) and the
electric parking brake must be released
when loading the vehicle onto a flatbed tow
truck.
If equipped, the Front Lift System can be
raised with the engine off. With the vehicle
in accessory mode and the doors closed,
press and hold the Front Lift System button
for 10 seconds. SeeFront Lift System0205.
After the vehicle is loaded, the front can be
lowered by pressing the Front Lift System
button again with the doors closed.
After the vehicle is loaded, the front can be
lowered by pressing the Front Lift System
button again with the doors closed.
.Place the vehicle in N (Neutral) and refer
to “Maintaining N (Neutral) with Engine
Off” under Dual Clutch Transmission
0 184.
.If the 12-volt battery is dead and/or the
engine will not start, the vehicle will not
move. Try to jump start the vehicle. Refer
to Jump Starting - North America 0299.
If the jump start is successful, retry the
“Maintaining N (Neutral) with Engine Off”
procedure.
.If jump starting is unsuccessful, the
vehicle will not move. Tire skates or
dollies must be used under the non-rolling
tires to prevent vehicle damage.
Front Tow Eye
Carefully open the cover by using the small
notch that conceals the front tow eye
socket.
Install the tow eye into the socket and turn
it until it is fully tightened.
When the tow eye is removed, reinstall the
cover with the notch in the original position.
