Replacing the vehicle battery
Note
Any deviation from the instructions
given in this paragraph may lead to
a temporary deactivation of the stop-
start system.
When the vehicle battery is being
replaced, please ensure that there
are no open ventilation holes in the
vicinity of the positive terminal. If a
ventilation hole is open in this area, it
must be closed off with a dummy cap,
and the ventilation in the vicinity of the
negative terminal must be opened.
Only use vehicle batteries that allow
the fuse box to be mounted above the
vehicle battery.
In vehicles with stop-start system,
ensure to have the AGM (Absorptive
Glass Mat) vehicle battery replaced
with an AGM vehicle battery again.
An AGM battery can be identified by
the term AGM on the battery label.
We recommend the use of an original
Chevrolet vehicle battery.
Note
Using an AGM vehicle battery
different from the original Chevrolet
vehicle battery might result in a
lower performance of the stop-start
system.
