Battery

Your vehicle has a maintenance free battery. When it is
time for a new battery, get one that has the replacement
number shown on the original battery's label. We
recommend an ACDelco
Engine Compartment Overview on page 5-12 for
battery location.
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.
If the 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) on page 2-29.

If you are not going to drive your vehicle for 25 days
or more, remove the black, negative ( ) cable from

running down.
CAUTION:

Batteries have acid that can burn you and gas
that can explode. You can be badly hurt if you
are not careful. See Jump Starting on
page 5-39 for tips on working around a battery
without getting hurt.
