Battery replacement question

When having the battery replaced in some of my previous vehicles (not Vettes) the installers inserted a small battery in the cigarette lighter before removal, supposedly to save all the settings in memory, software etc. When the time comes for my C7 to get a new battery is this something I need to care or worry about?

No, the only thing is that you will have to reindex the windows. All of the other settings are maintained.

Nah, it will hold your settings my friend.

Disclaimer: I have read some have lost their radio presets, but the major settings were fine.

Had my battery replaced as part of my Preventive Maintenance program a few months ago. All I had to do was to pay the dealer for the exchange.. 31,000 miles, 3.8 years..

I think my outside temperature display went blank, but did reset on its own after a few engine cycles.
