1995 Chevrolet Corvette Owner's Manual - Page 196

To Jump Start Your Corvette: 1. Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-volt battery with a negative ground system. 3. Turn off the ignition on both vehicles. Turn off all lights that aren't needed, and radios. This will avoid sparks and help saveboth batteries. And it could save your radio! 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 ableto start your Corvette, and the bad grounding could damage the electrical systems. NOTICE: If you leave your radio on, it could be badly damaged. The repairs wouldn't be covered by your warranty. 4. Open the hoods and locate the batteries. Find the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals on each. 5-3
