Battery - Cadillac 2007 DTS Owner's Manual

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.
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.
The battery is located under the rear seat cushion.
To access the battery, see Rear Underseat
Fuse Block on page 447. You do not need to
access the battery to jump start your vehicle.
See Jump Starting on page 384.

CAUTION:
{
A battery that is not 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.
