If your Chevy SSR has been sitting for a while and won't start, you may need to jumpstart it. Here's how:
1. Park the working vehicle close to the SSR, but do not let the vehicles touch.
2. Open the hoods of both vehicles and locate the battery. On the SSR, it will be on the driver's side near the firewall.
3. Attach one end of the red jumper cable to the positive (+) terminal of the dead battery on the SSR. Then attach the other end of that same cable to the positive terminal ofthe working battery.
4 .Attach one end ofthe black jumper cable tothe negative (-) terminalofthcworking battery.Then, keepingthe cablesas faraway from each other as possible,attachthe otherendoftheblackjumper cableto an unpainted metal surfaceon thc frameofthc SSR (such as a bolt). This will help prevent any sparks that could occur when connecting or disconnectingthe cables.
5 . Start thc working vehicle and let it run for a few minutes so that its alternator can charge up thc dead battery on thc SSR.
6 . Try starting thc SSR - it should start right up! If it doesn't, double-check all your connections to make sure they're secure before trying again
