PRECAUTIONS

Warning: Batteries produce explo-

sive gases, contain corrosive acid, and

supply levels of electrical current high

enough to cause burns. Therefore, to re-

duce the risk of personal injury when

working near a battery: Always shield

your eyes and avoid leaning over the

battery whenever possible; do not ex-

pose the battery to open ﬂames or

sparks; do not allow the battery electro-

lyte to contact the eyes or skin; ﬂush im-

mediately and thoroughly any

contacted areas with water, and get

medical help.

Warning: Unless directed otherwise,

the ignition and start switch must be in

the OFF or LOCK position, and all elec-

trical loads must be OFF before servic-

ing any electrical component. Discon-

nect the battery ground cable to

prevent an electrical spark should a

tool or equipment come in contact with

an exposed electrical terminal. Failure

to follow these precautions may result

in personal injury and/or damage to the

vehicle or its components.

For vehicles equipped with OnStar®

(UE1) with Back Up Battery, the back up

battery is a redundant power supply to

allow limited OnStar® functionality in the

event of a main vehicle battery power dis-

ruption to the VCIM (OnStar® module).

Do not disconnect the main vehicle bat-

tery or remove the OnStar® fuse with the

ignition key in any position other than

OFF. Retained Accessory Power (RAP)

should be allowed to time out or be dis-

abled (simply opening the driver door

should disable RAP) before disconnecting

power. Disconnecting power to the

OnStar® module in any way while the

ignition is ON or with RAP activated may

cause activation of the OnStar® Back Up

Battery (BUB) system and will discharge

and permanently damage the BUB. Once

the BUB is activated, it will stay on until it

has completely discharged. The BUB is

not rechargeable and, once activated, the

BUB must be replaced.
