Contact your dealer to learn how to prepare your vehicle
for longer storage periods.
Battery
Every new vehicle has an ACDelco Freedom' battery.
You never have to add water to one of these. When it's
time for a new battery, we recommend an ACDelco
Freedom battery. Get one that has the replacement
number shown
on
the original battery's label.
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.

Feature" in the Index.
Bulb Replacement
Before
you
replace any bulbs, be sure that all the lamps
are off and the engine isn't running. See "Replacement
Bulbs" in the Index for the proper types of bulbs to use.
Halogen Bulbs
Batteries have acid that can burn you and gas
that can explode. You can be badly hurt if you
aren't careful. See "Jump Starting" in the Index
for tips on working around a battery without
getting hurt.
Halogen bulbs have pressurized gas inside and
can burst if you drop or scratch the bulb. You or
others could be injured. Be sure to read and
follow the instructions on the bulb package.
