Battery
Battery
Vehicles without stop-start system
will be equipped with a lead acid
battery. Vehicles with stop-start
system will be equipped with an
AGM battery which has higher
performance than lead acid battery.
Replacing the battery
Note
Any deviation from the instructions
given in this paragraph may lead to
a temporary deactivation of the
stop start system. Only use
batteries that allow the fuse box to
be mounted above the battery. In
vehicles with stop-start system,
ensure to have the AGM
(Absorbent Glass Mat) battery
replaced with an AGM battery
again. An AGM battery can be
identified by the label on the
battery. We recommend the use of
an original GM battery.
Vehicle care 309
Note
Using an AGM battery different
from the original GM battery might
result in a lower performance of
the stop start system. We
recommend that you have the
battery replaced by your
authorized repairer.
The vehicle battery is maintenance
free.
Batteries do not belong in household
