6-33 Vehicle Storage
If you're 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
aren't careful. See ªJump Startingº in the Index
for tips on working around a battery without
getting hurt.
Contact your dealer to learn how to prepare your vehicle
for longer storage periods.
Also, for your audio system, see ªTheft
-Deterrent
Featureº in the Index.
Bulb Replacement
For the proper type of replacement bulb,
see ªReplacement Bulbsº in the Index.
For any bulb changing procedure not listed in
this section, contact your Chevrolet dealer's

Halogen Bulbs
CAUTION:
Halogen bulbs have pressurized gas inside
and can burst if you drop or scratch the bulb.

The black wire connects to ground.

When using the accessory power plug:

DO NOT splice wires directly into the
vehicle electrical wire harness. If done

NOTICE: (Continued)

Be sure to turn off any electrical equipment
when not in use. Leaving electrical equipment
on for extended periods of time can drain
your battery.

DO NOT use this plug if the electrical
equipment requires frequent connecting and
disconnecting. This may cause excessive wear
on the accessory power plug and damage
your electrical system and the damage would
not be covered by your warranty.
Headlamps
The headlamp wiring is protected by a circuit breaker.
An electrical overload will cause the lamps to go on and
off, or in some cases to remain off. If this happens, have
your headlamp wiring checked right away.
