306 Vehicle Care
rear cargo area. Open the
access covers for the
positive (+) terminal (1) and the
negative (−) terminal (2).
6. Check that the jumper cables
do not have loose or missing
insulation or a shock could
result and the vehicles could
be damaged.
Before connecting the jumper
cables, here are some basic
things to know. Positive (+)
jumper cable goes to
positive (+) battery terminal or
a remote positive (+) terminal if
available. Negative (−) jumper
cable goes to remote
negative (−) terminal if
available, or a heavy,
unpainted metal engine part or
a solid engine ground on the
vehicle with the run-down
battery.
Do not connect positive (+) to
negative (−) or there will be a
short that may damage the
battery or other parts of the
vehicle. Do not connect the
negative (−) cable to the
negative (−) terminal on the
run-down battery because this
can cause sparks.
Caution
If the jumper cables are
connected or removed in the
wrong order, electrical shorting
may occur and damage the
vehicle. The repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty.
Always connect and remove the
jumper cables in the correct order,
making sure that the cables do
not touch each other or other
metal.
Connecting the Jumper Cables
1. Connect the red positive (+)
jumper cable to the positive (+)
terminal of the other vehicle
with the run-down battery. Use
a remote positive (+) terminal if
available. Do not let the other
end touch metal.
2. Connect the other end of the
red positive (+) jumper cable to
the positive (+) battery terminal
of the Volt.
3. Connect the black negative (−)
jumper cable to the
negative (−) battery terminal of
the Volt. Do not let the other
end touch anything until the
next step.
4. Make the final connection to a
heavy, unpainted metal engine
part or to the remote
negative (−) terminal on the
other vehicle with the run-down
battery.
5. Press POWER
O to start the
Volt. This will wake up the
electronics on the Volt. The
engine will only start if it is
needed.
6. Try to start the other vehicle
that had the run-down battery.
If it will not start after a few
tries, it probably needs service.
