Battery - Chevrolet 2003 Malibu Owner's Manual

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. See 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.
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.
