Check the condition of the battery
monthly by looking at the test
indicator window. The label on the
battery explains the test indicator’s
colors.

If additional battery maintenance is
needed, see your dealer or a
qualified technician.

Battery posts,

terminals, and related accessories
contain lead and lead compounds.

Check the 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
further corrosion.

The location of the test indicator
window varies between
manufacturers.
