WARNING!
· Never expose the battery to open flame or electric spark.
· Do not smoke near the battery.
· Battery fluid contains sulfuric acid. Do not allow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin, fabrics or
painted surfaces. If contact occurs, flush the affected area immediately with water. Obtain medical
help immediately if eyes are affected.
WARNING!
* Ventilation hose: The battery generates hydrogen gas, which is flammable and explosive. The
battery is fitted with a ventilation hose which vents hydrogen gas out of the battery
compartment through a ventilation opening in the bottom of this compartment. If the battery
must be replaced, it is essential that the ventilation hose is properly connected to the battery
and that it is routed through the ventilation opening provided (see illustration).
Be sure the ventilation hose is free of debris.
Only use replacement batteries equipped with a ventilation hose. Consult your Volvo retailer.
