Battery

Check the battery terminals for
corrosion (a white or yellowish
powder). To remove it, cover the
terminals with a solution of baking
soda and water. It will bubble up and
turn brown. When this stops, wash it
off with plain water. Dry off the
battery with a cloth or paper towel.

Coat the terminals with grease to

help prevent future corrosion.

WARNING: Battery posts,

terminals and related accessories
contain lead and lead compounds.

Wash hands after handling.

If the terminals are severely cor-
roded, clean them with baking soda
and water. Then use a wrench to
loosen and remove the cables from
the terminals. Always disconnect the
negative ( — ) cable first and recon-
nect it last. Clean the battery termi-
nals with a terminal cleaning tool or
wire brush. Reconnect and tighten
the cables, then coat the terminals
with grease.

If you need to connect the battery to
a charger, disconnect both cables to
prevent damage to the car's
electrical system.
