Battery - Cadillac 2003 DeVille Owner's Manual

For example, if someone puts in brake linings that are
wrong for your vehicle, the balance between your
front and rear brakes can change - for the worse. The
braking performance you've come to expect can
change in many other ways if someone puts in the
wrong replacement brake parts.
Battery
Your new vehicle comes with a maintenance free
ACDelco@ 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 tne battery, see "Hemoving the Rear Seat
Cushion". You don't need to access the battery to jump
start your vehicle. See Jump Starfing on page 5-43.
A t u . , , . y that isn't prc,,erly vented call 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.
