remove the caps. Each cell has its own

maximum level mark.

· If necessary, top up with distilled water to

the battery’s maximum mark.

· Never fill above the maximum mark (A).

Important!

Always use distilled or deionised water

(battery water).

· Tighten the caps properly.

NOTE! The life of the battery is shortened if it

becomes discharged repeatedly.

Battery care

The function and life of the battery is affected

by number of starts, number of times dischar-

ged, driving style, driving conditions, climate

conditions, etc.

Repeated use of the parking heater and similar

large power consumers combined with short

driving distances could lead to a discharged

battery and thereby problems starting.

For the battery to function satisfactorily,

consider the following:

· Regularly check that the battery fluid level is

correct (A).

Further information in the

Owner’s Manual.

Store the battery out of the

reach of children.

The battery contains

corrosive acid.

Avoid sparks and naked

Risk of explosion.

WARNING!

Batteries can generate oxyhydrogen gas,

which is highly explosive. One spark, which

can be generated if you connect the jump

leads incorrectly, is sufficient to make the

battery explode. The battery also contains

sulphuric acid, which can cause serious

burns. If the acid comes into contact with

eyes, skin or clothing, flush with large

quantities of water. If acid splashes into the

eyes, seek medical attention immediately.
