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.

If your battery has a very low charge or is dead, you
may not be able to remove the ignition key from the
ignition switch or shift out of PARK (P). Refer to
“Shifting Out of PARK (P)” in the Index.

Vehicle Storage

If you’re not going to drive your vehicle for 25 days or
more, remove the black, negative (

-

) cable from the

battery. This will help keep your battery from 
running down.

CAUTION:

Batteries have acid that can burn you and gas
that can explode. You can be badly hurt if you
aren’t careful. See “Jump Starting” in the Index
for tips on working around a battery without
getting hurt.

Contact your dealer to learn how to prepare your vehicle
for longer storage periods.

Also, for your audio system, see “Theft

-

Deterrent

Feature” in the Index.

Halogen Bulbs

CAUTION:

Halogen bulbs have pressurized gas inside and
