Replacing Brake System Parts
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
have to have 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 original
battery’s label. We recommend an ACDelco battery.
The battery is located under the rear seat cushion.
To access the battery, see “Removing the Rear Seat
Cushion” in the Index. You don’t need to access the
battery to jump start your vehicle. See “Jump Starting”
in the Index.
CAUTION:
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.
