Cadillac 2005 XLR - Manual (Page 344)

Battery
Your vehicle has a maintenance free battery. When it is
time for a new battery, get one that has the replacement
number shown on the original battery’s label. We
recommend an ACDelco
® replacement battery.
For battery replacement, see your dealer or the service
manual. To purchase a service manual, see Service
and Owner Publications in Service Publications Ordering
Information on page 8-12.
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.
Vehicle Storage
If you are 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
are not careful. See Jump Starting on
page 6-37 for tips on working around a battery
without getting hurt.
You must close all doors and the trunk before
reconnecting the battery. After reconnecting the battery,
you must press the unlock button on the keyless
access transmitter. Failure to follow this procedure may
result in the alarm sounding. Pressing unlock on the
keyless access transmitter would stop the alarm.
Also, for your audio system, see Theft-Deterrent Feature
on page 3-78.
