Caution
If the jumper cables are
connected or removed in the
wrong order, electrical shorting
may occur and damage the
vehicle. The repairs may not be
covered by the New Vehicle
Voluntary 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 remote
positive (+) terminal (1) of your
Volt. Do not let the other end of
the cable touch metal.
2. Connect the other end of the red
positive (+) jumper cable to the
positive (+) terminal of the other
vehicle.
3. Connect the black negative (
−
)
jumper cable to the negative (
−
)
battery terminal of the other
vehicle battery. Do not let the
other end touch anything until
the next step.
4. Connect the other end of the
black negative (
−
) jumper cable
to the remote negative (
−
)
terminal (2) of your Volt.
5. Push the POWER
O
button to
start. This will wake up the
electronics on the Volt. After the
instrument cluster initialises, the
Volt will use power from the high
voltage battery to charge the
12-volt battery. The jumper
cables can then be
disconnected. If the Volt does
not start, contact your dealer.
Disconnecting the Jumper Cables
1. Disconnect the black negative
(
−
) jumper cable from the Volt.
Do not let the other end of the
cable touch anything until after
the next step.
2. Disconnect the black negative
(
−
) jumper cable from the other
vehicle with the good battery.
3. Disconnect the red positive (+)
jumper cable from the other
vehicle. Do not let the other end
of the cable touch anything until
after the next step.
4. Disconnect the red positive (+)
jumper cable from the Volt.
5. Return the positive (+) and
negative (
−
) terminal covers to
their original positions.
Jump Starting Another Vehicle
When using the Volt to jump start
another vehicle with a run-down
battery, jumper cables are
connected directly to the positive (+)
and negative (
−
) terminals on the
12-volt battery in the rear cargo
area. Do not use the remote
terminals under the bonnet. This
could cause a fuse to overload in
the Volt.
