Battery; Vehicle Storage - GMC Hybrid 2006 Owner's Manual

What to Use
To determine what kind of fluid to use, see
Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 6-2 for
more information. Your hybrid vehicle requires a special
power steering fluid. Always use the proper fluid.
Failure to use the proper fluid can cause leaks and
damage hoses, seals and other steering system parts
and repairs may not be covered by your vehicle's
warranty.

Battery

Your vehicle has a standard 12-volt battery and a
42-volt hybrid battery system.
When it is time for a new standard 12-volt battery, get
one that has the replacement number shown on
the original battery's label. We recommend an ACDelco
replacement battery.
When it is time for a new 42-volt hybrid battery system,
see your dealer.
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 30 days or
more you should disconnect your standard 12-volt
battery. Remember to reconnect your battery when
you are ready to drive your vehicle. You should also
disconnect the 42-volt hybrid battery system. See
Battery Disconnect Switch on page 5-20.
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 5-14 for tips on working around a battery
without getting hurt.
