Jumper Cable Removal
To remove the jumper cables, reverse Steps
10–13 in exact order.
After starting the disabled vehicle and
removing the jumper cables, allow it to idle for
several minutes.
Transporting a Disabled Vehicle
Caution
Incorrectly transporting a disabled vehicle
may cause damage to the vehicle. Use
proper tire straps to secure the vehicle to
the flatbed tow truck. Do not strap or hook
to any frame, underbody, or suspension
component not specified below. Do not
move vehicles with drive axle tires on the
ground. Damage is not covered by the
vehicle warranty.
Caution
The vehicle may be equipped with an
Electric Parking Brake (EPB) and/or an
electronic shifter. In the event of a loss
of 12-volt battery power, the EPB cannot
be released, and the vehicle cannot be
shifted to N (Neutral). Tire skates or
dollies must be used under the non-rolling
tires to prevent damage while loading/
unloading the vehicle. Dragging the vehicle
will cause damage not covered by the
vehicle warranty.
The vehicle may be equipped with a tow
eye. Improper use of the tow eye may cause
damage to the vehicle and is not covered by
the vehicle warranty. If equipped, use the
tow eye to load the vehicle onto a flatbed
tow truck from a flat road surface, or to
move the vehicle a very short distance at
a walking pace. The tow eye is not designed
for off-road recovery. The vehicle must be in
N (Neutral) with the Electric Parking Brake
(EPB) released when using the tow eye.
Contact a professional towing service if the
disabled vehicle must be transported. GM
recommends a flatbed tow truck to transport
a disabled vehicle. Use ramps to help reduce
approach angles, if necessary.
