Battery
Your new vehicle comes with a maintenance free
ACDelco
battery. When it's time for a new battery,
get one that has the replacement number shown on
the original battery's label. We recommend an
ACDelco battery.
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.For your audio system, see ªTheft
-Deterrent Featureº in
the Index. To reprogram your sunroof, see ªSunroofº
also in the Index.
Bulb Replacement
For any bulb changing procedure not listed in this
section, contact your GM dealership service department.
Before you replace any bulbs, be sure that all the lamps
are off and the engine isn't running. See ªReplacement
Bulbsº in the Index for the proper types of bulbs to use.
Halogen Bulbs
CAUTION:
Halogen bulbs have pressurized gas inside and
can burst if you drop or scratch the bulb. You or
others could be injured. Be sure to read and
follow the instructions on the bulb package.

Underhood Electrical CenterThe underhood electrical center is located on the
driver's side of the engine compartment near the
battery. Lift the cover for access to the fuse/relay block.
You can remove fuses with a fuse extractor. The fuse
extractor is located in the underhood electrical center.
To remove fuses if you don't have a fuse extractor,
hold the end of the fuse between your thumb and index
finger and pull straight out.
