BATTERY
– Batteries produce flam-
mable hydrogen gas. Keep
flames and sparks away from the bat-
tery or an explosion may occur. Nev-
er smoke when working in the vicini-
ty of the battery.
– When checking or servicing the bat-
tery, disconnect the negative cable.
Be careful not to cause a short circuit
by allowing metal objects to contact
the battery posts and the vehicle at
the same time.
– To avoid harm to yourself or dam-
age to your vehicle or battery, follow
the jump starting instructions in the
“EMERGENCY SERVICE” section of
this manual if it is necessary to jump
start your vehicle.
– The battery acid may cause serious
burns and/or blindness. Always use
protective goggles and protective
gloves when intervening on the bat-
tery. In the event of accidental con-
tact, immediately wash the parts af-
fected with plenty of running water
then contact a doctor immediately.
Keep the battery out of the reach of
children.

Your vehicle is equipped with a battery
that requires infrequent maintenance. You
will never have to add water. You should,
however, periodically check the battery,
battery terminals and battery hold- down
bracket for corrosion. Remove corrosion
using a stiff brush and ammonia mixed with
water, or baking soda mixed with water.
After removing corrosion, rinse with clean
water.
If your vehicle is not going to be driven for
a month or longer, disconnect the cable
from the negative terminal of the battery
to help prevent discharge.
