Maintenance-Free Battery

You will never have to add water, nor is periodic main-
tenance required.

NOTE:

The battery is stored in a compartment that is

located behind the left front fender and is accessible
through the wheel well. The wheel and tire assemble do
not need to be removed to access the compartment.
Remote battery terminals are located in the engine com-
partment for jump-starting.

To access the battery, turn the steering wheel fully to the
right and remove the access panel from the inner fender
shield.

WARNING!

Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution and can

burn or even blind you. Do not allow battery fluid
to contact your eyes, skin, or clothing. Do not lean
over a battery when attaching clamps. If acid
splashes in eyes or on skin, flush the area imme-
diately with large amounts of water.

Battery gas is flammable and explosive. Keep

flame or sparks away from the battery. Do not use
a booster battery or any other booster source with
an output greater than 12 Volts. Do not allow cable
clamps to touch each other.

Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories

contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands
after handling.
