Chevrolet 2007 Avalanche, Owner'S Manual

Page: 485 / 628

To avoid the possibility of the vehicles rolling,
set the parking brake firmly on both vehicles
involved in the jump start procedure. Put
the automatic transmission in PARK (P) or a
manual transmission in NEUTRAL before
setting the parking brake. If you have a
four-wheel-drive vehicle, be sure the transfer
case is in a drive gear, not in NEUTRAL.
Notice: If you leave your radio or other
accessories on during the jump starting
procedure, they could be damaged. The
repairs would not be covered by your warranty.
Always turn off your radio and other
accessories when jump starting your 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 the
lamps that are not needed. This will avoid
sparks and help save both batteries. And it
could save the radio!
4. Open the hood on the other vehicle and
locate the positive (+) and negative (
−
)
terminal locations on that vehicle.
Your vehicle has a remote positive (+) jump
starting terminal and a remote negative (
−
)
jump starting terminal. You should always
use these remote terminals instead of
the terminals on the battery.
The remote positive (+) terminal, if equipped, is
located under a red plastic cover at the positive
battery post. To uncover the remote positive (+)
terminal, open the red plastic cover.
