Chevrolet Traverse Owner Manual - 2012

Vehicle Care 10-75

Notice: Ignoring these steps

could result in costly damage to

the vehicle that would not be

covered by the warranty.

Trying to start the vehicle by

pushing or pulling it will not

work, and it could damage the

vehicle.

1. Check the other vehicle. It must

have a 12‐volt battery with a

negative ground system.

Notice: Only use a vehicle that

has a 12-volt system with a

negative ground for jump

starting. If the other vehicle does

not have 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 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 your

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 brake.

If one of the vehicles is a

four-wheel-drive vehicle, be sure

the transfer case is not in

Neutral.

Notice: If the radio or other

accessories are left on during the

jump starting procedure, they

could be damaged. The repairs

would not be covered by the

warranty. Always turn off the

radio and other accessories when

jump starting the vehicle.

3. Turn off the ignition on both

vehicles. Unplug unnecessary

accessories plugged into the

cigarette lighter or the accessory

power outlets. 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!
