Battery; Vehicle Storage - Cadillac 2004 XLR Owner's Manual

Battery

Your new vehicle comes with a maintenance free
®
ACDelco 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
battery.
For battery replacement, see your dealer or the service
manual. To purchase a service manual, see Service
and Owner Publications in Service Publications Ordering
Information on page 7-11 .
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.

Vehicle Storage

If you are 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.
