Replacing Brake System Parts
The braking system on a vehicle is complex. Its
many parts have to be of top quality and work well
together if the vehicle is to have really good
braking. Your vehicle was designed and tested with
top-quality GM brake parts. When you replace parts
of the braking system — for example, when the
brake linings wear down and you need new ones
put in — be sure you get new approved GM
replacement parts. If you do not, the brakes may no
longer work properly. For example, if someone puts
in brake linings that are wrong for your vehicle, the
balance between the front and rear brakes can
change — for the worse. The braking performance
you have come to expect can change in many other
ways if someone puts in the wrong replacement
brake parts.

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
replacement battery.

Your vehicle's battery is located in the trunk. You
do not need to access the battery to jump start
your vehicle. See Jump Starting on page 317.
Warning: Battery posts, terminals, and related
accessories contain lead and lead compounds,
chemicals known to the State of California

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.
