The braking system on a vehicle is complex. Its many
parts have to be of top quality and work well together
if
the vehicle is to have really good braking. Your vehicle
was designed and tested with top-quality
GM
brake parts.
When you replace parts
of
your braking system
-
for
example, when your brake linings wear down and you
need new ones put in
-
be sure you get new approved
GM
replacement parts.
If
you don’t, your brakes may
no
longer work properly. For example,
if
someone puts in
brake linings that are wrong for your vehicle, the balance
between your front and rear brakes can change
-
for the
worse. The braking performance you’ve come to expect
can change in many other ways
if
someone puts in the
wrong replacement brake parts.
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 originai battery’s iabei. vve recommena
an
ACDelco battery.
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.
The battery
is
located under the rear seat cushion.
To access the battery, see
Removing the Rear Seat
Cushion
on
page

You don’t need to access
the battery to jump start your vehicle. See
Jump Starting
on pa--

A
battery that
isn’t
properly vented can let
sulfuric acid fumes into the area under the rear
seat cushion. These fumes can damage your
rear seat safety belt systems. You may not be
able to see
this
damage, and the safety belts
might not provide the protection needed
in
a
crash. If a replacement battery
is
ever needed,
it
must be vented
in
the same manner as the
original battery. Always make sure that the
vent hose
is
properly reattached before
reinstalling the seat cushion.
