Jump
Starting
If your battery has run down, you may
want to use another vehicle and some
jumper cables to start your Geo. But
please follow
the
steps below to do it
safely.
NOTICE:
Ignoring these steps could result
in
costly damage to your vehicle that
wouldn’t be covered by your war-
ranty.
Trying to start your Geo by pushing
or pulling it could damage your
vehicle, even if you have
a
manual
transmission. And if you have an
automatic transmission,
it
won’t start
that way.
To
Jump
Start
Your
Geo:
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
Geo, 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!

If you leave your radio on, it could be
badly damaged. The repairs wouldn’t
be covered by your warranty.
