I
Battery
Every new Chevrolet has a Delco
Freedom@ battery. You never have to
add water to one of these. When it’s
time for a new battery, we recommend a
Delco Freedom@ battery. Get one that
has the catalog number shown on the
original battery’s label.
Jump Starting
For jump starting instructions, see the
Index under Jump Starting.
Vehicle Storage
If you’re not going to drive your vehicle
for
25 days or more, take off the black,
negative
(-) cable from the battery. This
will help keep your battery from
running down.
x Batteries have acid that can
L burn you and gas that can
explode. You can be badly hurt if
you aren’t careful. See the Index
under Jump Starting for tips on
working around
a battery without
getting hurt.
Contact your dealer to prepare your
vehicle for longer storage periods.
Bulb Rephcement
In this section you’ll find directions for
changing the light bulbs in some of the
lights on your Chevrolet.
Be sure to read the directions before
you begin to replace or adjust any
lights.
See the
Index under Replacement
Bulbs to find the type of bulb you need
to use.
