Important Safety Precautions
Batteries
CAUTION
Vehicle batteries can hurt you.
They contain acid and electrici-
ty that can burn and gas that
can explode or ignite. Use care
and follow any applicable
instructions when working near
a battery.
Do not let battery fluid touch
your skin. If you do get it in your
eyes or on your skin, flush the
place with water and get medi-
cal help immediately.
Do not use a match or flame
near a vehicle's battery. If you
need more light, use a flash-
light.

CAUTION
(Continued)
Every new GM vehicle uses an
®
AC Delco battery that requires
no maintenance. However, if
another battery has filler caps,
be sure the right amount of
fluid is there. If it is low, add
water to make sure that there is
no explosive gas present.
Towing Your Vehicle
CAUTION
To help avoid injury to you or
others:
• Do not let anyone ride in a
vehicle that is being towed.
• Do not tow faster than safe or
posted speeds.
• Be sure to secure any loose or
damaged parts.
• Never get under a vehicle
after it has been lifted.
• Always use separate safety
chains on each side of the
vehicle.
