{Warning
Most motor vehicles, including
this one, as well as many of its
service parts and fluids, contain
and/or emit chemicals known to
the State of California to cause
cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Engine
exhaust, many parts and
systems, many fluids, and some
component wear by-products
contain and/or emit these
chemicals. For more information

Vehicle Storage
{Warning
Batteries have acid that can burn
you and gas that can explode.
You can be badly hurt if you are
not careful. SeeJump Starting -
North America 0227 for tips on
working around a battery without
getting hurt.
Extended Storage Switch
If any electrical equipment does not
operate, remove the extended
storage switch and check for an
open fuse.
The extended storage switch is
used for long term vehicle storage.
Even if the extended storage switch
is broken it is not necessary to
replace it. Replace only the open
fuse in the switch with a new fuse.
To replace the extended storage
switch: 1. To remove the extended storage switch, be sure the
ignition switch is in the OFF or
LOCK position.
2. Be sure the headlight switch is in the OFF position.
3. Remove the fuse box cover.
4. Pinch the locking tabs (1) and (2) found on each side of
the storage switch.
5. Pull the storage switch straight out from the fuse box (3).Wiper Blade Replacement
Windshield wiper blades should be
inspected for wear and cracking.
See Maintenance Schedule 0246.
Replacement blades come in
different types and are removed in
different ways. For proper type and
length, see Maintenance
Replacement Parts 0258.
Caution
Allowing the wiper arm to touch
the windshield when no wiper
blade is installed could damage
the windshield. Any damage that
occurs would not be covered by
the vehicle warranty. Do not allow
the wiper arm to touch the
windshield.
1. Lift the wiper arm away from the windshield.

Vehicle Care 227
After installing the spare tire on the
vehicle, stop as soon as possible
and check that the spare is correctly
inflated. The spare tire is made to
perform well at speeds up to
112 km/h (70 mph) at the
recommended inflation pressure, so
you can finish your trip.
Have the damaged or flat road tire
repaired or replaced back onto the
vehicle, as soon as possible, so the
spare tire will be available in case it
is needed again.
Do not mix tires and wheels of
different sizes, because they will not
fit. Keep the spare tire and its wheel
together.Jump Starting

For more information about the
vehicle battery, seeBattery - North

If the vehicle battery has run down,
you may want to use another
vehicle and jumper cables to start
your vehicle. Use the following
steps to do it safely.
{Warning
WARNING: Battery posts,
terminals, and related
accessories contain lead and lead
compounds, chemicals known to
the State of California to cause
cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Batteries also

{Warning
Batteries can hurt you. They can
be dangerous because:
. They contain acid that can
burn you.
. They contain gas that can
explode or ignite.
. They contain enough
electricity to burn you.
. Explosive hydrogen gas is
always present in the
vicinity of the battery. Keep
all sparks and flames away
from the battery.

228 Vehicle Care
Warning (Continued)
If you do not follow these steps
exactly, some or all of these
things can hurt you.
Caution
Ignoring these steps could result
in costly damage to the vehicle
that would not be covered by the
vehicle warranty. Trying to start
the vehicle by pushing or pulling it
will not work, and it could damage
the vehicle.
1. Discharged BatteryPositive (+) Terminal
2. Discharged Battery Negative (−) Grounding
Point
3. Good Battery Negative (−) Terminal
4. Good Battery Positive (+) Terminal
1. Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-volt battery
with a negative ground system.
Caution
If the other vehicle does not have
a 12-volt system with a negative
ground, both vehicles can be
damaged. Only use a vehicle that
has a 12-volt system with a
negative ground for jump starting.
2. Get the vehicles close enough so the jumper cables can
reach, but be sure the vehicles
are not touching each other.
If they are, it could cause a
ground connection you do not
want. You would not be able to
start your vehicle, and the bad
grounding could damage the
electrical systems.
To avoid the possibility of the
vehicles rolling, set the parking
brake firmly on both vehicles
involved in the jump start
procedure. Put an automatic
transmission in P (Park) or a
manual transmission in Neutral
before setting the parking
brake.

Vehicle Care 229
Caution
If any accessories are left on or
plugged in during the jump
starting procedure, they could be
damaged. The repairs would not
be covered by the vehicle
warranty. Whenever possible, turn
off or unplug all accessories on
either vehicle when jump starting.
3. Turn off the ignition on both vehicles. Unplug unnecessary
accessories from the cigarette
lighter or the accessory power
outlet. Turn off the radio and all
lamps that are not needed.
This will avoid sparks and help
save both batteries. And it
could save the radio!
4. Open the hoods and locate the positive (+) and negative (−)
terminal locations of the other
vehicle.
{Warning
Using a match near a battery can
cause battery gas to explode.
People have been hurt doing this,
and some have been blinded.
Use a flashlight if you need more
light.
Battery fluid contains acid that
can burn you. Do not get it on
you. If you accidentally get it in
your eyes or on your skin, flush
the place with water and get
medical help immediately.
{Warning
Fans or other moving engine
parts can injure you badly. Keep
your hands away from moving
parts once the engine is running. 5. Check that the jumper cables
do not have loose or missing
insulation. If they do, you could
get a shock. The vehicles
could be damaged too.
Before you connect the cables,
here are some basic things you
should know. Positive (+) will
go to positive (+) or to a remote
positive (+) terminal if
equipped. Negative (−) will go
to an unpainted metal part or to
a remote negative (−) terminal
if equipped.
Do not connect positive (+) to
negative (−) or you will get a
short that would damage the
battery and possibly other parts
too. Do not connect the
negative (−) cable to the
negative (−) terminal on the
dead battery because this can
cause sparks.
6. Connect the red positive (+) cable to the positive (+)
terminal (1) of the dead battery.
Use a remote positive (+)
terminal if equipped. Do not let
the other end touch metal.

Chevrolet City Express Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-
11683523) - 2018 - CRC - 7/10/17
230 Vehicle Care
Connect it to the positive (+)
terminal (4) of the good battery.
Use a remote positive (+)
terminal if equipped.
7. Connect the black negative (−) cable to the negative (−)
terminal (3) of the good battery.
Use a remote negative (−)
terminal if equipped.
Do not let the other end touch
anything until the next step.
The other end of the
negative (−) cable does not go
to the dead battery. It goes to
the shock tower, or to a remote
negative (−) terminal on the
vehicle with the dead battery.
8. Connect the other end of the negative (−) cable to the
negative (−) grounding point (2)
on the shock tower of the
vehicle with the dead battery.Caution
Make sure the jumper cables do
not touch moving parts in the
engine compartment and that the
cable clamps do not contact any
other metal.
9. Start the vehicle with the good battery and run the engine for a
few minutes.
10. Keep the engine speed of the booster vehicle at about 2,000
rpm, and start the engine of the
vehicle being jump started.
Caution
Do not keep the starter motor
engaged for more than
10 seconds. If the engine does
not start right away, turn the key
off and wait three to four seconds
before trying again. 11. After starting the engine,
disconnect jumper cables as
directed below.
12. If it will not start after a few tries, it probably needs service.
Caution
If the jumper cables are
connected or removed in the
wrong order, electrical shorting
may occur and damage the
vehicle. The repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle 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.
Jumper Cable Removal
Reverse the sequence exactly when
removing the jumper cables.
After starting the disabled vehicle
and removing the jumper cables,
allow it to idle for several minutes.
