Batteries produce flammable hydrogen
gas. Keep flames and sparks away from
the battery or an explosion may occur.
Never smoke when working in the
vicinity of the battery .
When checking or servicing the battery,
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 damage
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 level of the battery solution must be kept
between the "UPPER" and the "LOWER" level
lines at all times. If the level is found to be
below the "LOWER" level line, add distilled
water to the "UPPER" level line. You should
periodically check the battery, battery
terminals, and battery holddown 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.
