How to Jump Start a Chevrolet Camaro

1. Check that the other vehicle has a 12-volt battery with a negative ground system, and park the two vehicles so they do not touch.
2. Set the parking brake firmly and put the shift lever in P (Park) for an automatic or Neutral for a manual.
3. Turn both vehicles off and switch off all lights and accessories, except hazard flashers if needed.
4. Connect one end of the red positive (+) cable to the discharged battery positive (+) terminal, then the other end to the good battery positive (+) terminal.
5. Connect one end of the black negative (–) cable to the good battery negative (–) terminal, then the other end to the discharged battery negative (–) grounding point.
6. Start the engine of the vehicle with the good battery and let it idle for at least four minutes.
7. Try to start the vehicle with the dead battery, then remove the cables in exactly the reverse order.

• The discharged battery positive (+) terminal is on the passenger side under a red cover; remove the cover to expose it.
• If it will not start after a few tries, it probably needs service.
• After removing the cables, let the started vehicle idle for several minutes.
