Battery

Check the battery as follows:

Battery exterior

Make sure that the battery terminals are not corroded and that
there are no loose connections, cracks, or loose clamps.

Terminals

Hold-down clamp

Checking battery fluid

Check that the level is between
the “UPPER LEVEL” and
“LOWER LEVEL” lines.

“UPPER LEVEL” line

“LOWER LEVEL” line

If the fluid level is at or below the
“LOWER LEVEL” line, add dis-
tilled water.

NOTICE

If the fluid level is low or high

It is normal for the brake fluid level to go down slightly as the brake pads
wear out or when the fluid level in the accumulator is high.
If the reservoir needs frequent refilling, there may be a serious problem.
