Battery

Your new vehicle comes with a maintenance free
ACDelco

R

 battery. When it’s time for a new battery, 

get one that has the replacement number shown 
on the original battery’s label. We recommend an 
ACDelco battery.

WARNING: Battery posts, terminals and related
accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer and
reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

The battery is located under the rear seat cushion. 
To access the battery, see “Removing the Rear Seat
Cushion” in the Index. You don’t need to access the
battery to jump start your vehicle. See “Jump Starting”
in the Index.

CAUTION:

A battery that isn’t properly vented can let
sulfuric acid fumes into the area under the rear
seat cushion. These fumes can damage your rear
seat safety belt systems. You may not be able to
see this damage, and the safety belts might not
provide the protection needed in a crash. If a
replacement battery is ever needed, it must be
vented in the same manner as the original
battery. Always make sure that the vent hose 
is properly reattached before reinstalling the 
seat cushion.
