Vehicle Storage
{ 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 5-46 for tips on working around a battery
without getting hurt.
Infrequent Usage: If you drive your vehicle infrequently,
remove the black, negative (
−
) cable from the battery.
This will help keep the battery from running down.
See “Power Window Initialization” in Power Windows on
page 2-16.
Extended Storage: For extended storage of your
vehicle, remove the black, negative (
−
) cable from the
battery or use a battery trickle charger. This will
help maintain the charge of the battery over an extended
period of time.
Jump Starting
If your vehicle’s battery has run down, you may want to
use another vehicle and some jumper cables to start
your vehicle. Be sure to use the following steps to do
it safely.
{ CAUTION:
Batteries can hurt you. They can be dangerous
because:
• They contain acid that can burn you.
• They contain gas that can explode or ignite.
• They contain enough electricity to
burn you.
If you do not follow these steps exactly, some or
all of these things can hurt you.
