battery, but not near engine parts that move. The electrical connection
is just as
good there, but the chance of sparks getting back to the
battery is much less.
__ 11. Now start the-vehicle with the good battery and run the engine for
awhile.
12. Try to start the vehicle with the dead battery.
If it won’t start after a few tries, it probably needs service.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine BATTERY
Every new Cadillac 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.
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.
Contact your dealer to learn how
to prepare your vehicle for longer
storage periods.
Battery Power Loss
If you lose battery power or the battery is disconnected, your car’s
computer must be programmed. It takes just over
20 minutes to do it. If
you want to do it yourself, here’s how:
0 Apply the parking brake.
0 Make sure the front wheels are straight.
0 Turn off the Electronic Climate Control.
