Turn
off
the ignition on both vehicles. Unplug
unnecessary accessories plugged into the cigarette
lighter or accessory power outlets. Turn
off
all lamps
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.

Open the hoods and locate
the
batteries. Find the
positive
(+>
and negative
(-)
terminals on each battery.

If
your
vehicle has air conditioning, the auxiliary
electric fan under the hood can start up even
when the engine is not running and can injure
you. Keep hands, clothing and tools
away
from
any underhood electric fan.

Using
a
match near a battery can cause battery
gas to explode. People have been hurt doing this,
and some have been blinded. Use
a
flashlight if
you need more light.
Be sure the batteries have enough water.
You
don’t need to add water to the Delco Freedom@
battery (or batteries) installed in every new
GM
vehicle. But if
a
battery has filler caps, be sure
the right amount
of
fluid is there.
If
it is low, add
water to take care of that first.
If
you
don’t,
explosive gas could be present.
Battery fluid contains acid that can burn you.
Don’t get it on you.
If
you accidentally get it in
your eyes or on your skin, flush the place with
water and get medical help immediately.
