•

Never disconnect the battery when the

engine is running, or when the key is in the

ignition. This could damage the vehicle's

electrical system.

•

The battery should be disconnected from

the vehicle when a battery charger is used

directly on the battery.

•

To help keep the battery in good condition,

the vehicle should be driven for at least 15

minutes a week or connected to a charger

with an automatic charging function.

•

If the battery is fully discharged a number

of times, this may shorten its service life.

Keeping the battery fully charged helps

prolong its service life.

•

The service life of a battery is affected by

factors such as driving conditions and cli-

mate. Extreme cold may also further

decrease the battery’s starting capacity.

•

Because the battery’s starting capacity

decreases with time, it may be necessary

to recharge it if the vehicle is not driven for

an extended period of time or if the vehicle

is usually only driven short distances.

•

CAUTION

•

Always use distilled or deionized water

(battery water).

Never fill above the level mark in the cell.
