Battery - Cadillac 2003 Seville Owner's Manual

The braking system on a vehicle is complex. !ts 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 your braking
system
-
for example, when your brake linings
wear down and you need new ones put in
-
be sure
you get new approved replacement parts. If you
don't, your brakes may no longer work properly. For
example, if someone puts in brake linings that are wrong
for your vehicle, the balance between your front and
rear brakes can change
-
for the worse. The braking
performance you've come to expect can change in
many other ways if someone puts in the wrong
replacement brake parts.

The battery is located under the rear seat cushion. To
access the battery, see "Removing the Rear Seat
Cushion". You don't need to access the battery to jump
start your vehicle. See Jump Starting page 5-45.
A battery that isn't properly vented can let
sulfuric acid fumes into the area under the rear
seat cushion. These fumes can damage your
rear seat safety belt systems. You may not be
able to see this damage, and the safety belts
might not provide the protection needed in a
crash. If a replacement battery
is
ever needed,
it
must be vented
in
the same manner as the
original battery. Always make sure that the
vent hose is properly reattached before
reinstalling the seat cushion.
