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.
For battery replacement, see your dealer or the
service manual. To purchase a service manual,
see Service and Owner Publications in Service
Publications Ordering Information on page 497.
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.
Vehicle Storage
If you are not going to drive your vehicle for 25 days
or more, remove the black, negative (−) cable from
the battery. This will help keep your battery from
running down.
{CAUTION:
Batteries have acid that can burn you and
gas that can explode. You can be badly
hurt if you are not careful. See Jump
Starting on page 403 for tips on working
around a battery without getting hurt.
You must close all doors and the trunk before
reconnecting the battery. After reconnecting
the battery, you must press the unlock button on
the keyless access transmitter. Failure to
follow this procedure may result in the alarm
sounding. Pressing unlock on the keyless access
transmitter would stop the alarm.
