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. See Engine Compartment Overview on
page 5-12
for battery location.

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 (

the battery. This will help keep your battery from
running down.
