Chevrolet 1995 Automobile User Manual


 
To
Jump Start Your Corvette:
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 Corvette, 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.
