2 Answers
The battery of the Cadillac ATS-L is located on the left side of the trunk. After opening the trunk lid, remove the left interior panel to see it. The Cadillac ATS-L is a mid-size car. Taking the 2017 Cadillac ATS-L 28T Luxury model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4730 mm, width 1824 mm, height 1426 mm, wheelbase 2860 mm, fuel tank capacity 62 liters, and curb weight 1600 kg. The 2017 Cadillac ATS-L 28T Luxury model is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged inline 4-cylinder engine, with a maximum power of 205 kW and a maximum power speed of 5500 rpm, matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
The battery of the Cadillac ATSL is located at the front right corner of the engine compartment, quite visible when viewed from the front of the car. I've replaced the battery myself before, and the location is designed for convenience, requiring no crawling under the car or removing other components. After opening the hood, there's usually a cover or box near the right front lighting assembly; removing a few clips will reveal the battery itself. The ATSL typically uses an AGM-type battery, which is resistant to high temperatures and vibrations, hence its placement near the engine's cooling area. If you can't locate it, checking the manual or searching for an engine compartment diagram online can help. This design prioritizes maintenance ease, but when replacing the battery, it's important to disconnect the negative terminal first to prevent electrical shorts. Regularly checking for loose battery connections is also crucial to avoid starting issues due to poor contact. Overall, the location is well-chosen, making routine maintenance straightforward and quick, even for DIY replacements.
