Your vehicle is equipped with a maintenance-free battery.
You will never have to add water, nor is periodic maintenance required.
WARNING!
• Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution and can burn or even blind you.
Do not allow battery fluid to contact your eyes, skin, or clothing. Do not lean
over a battery when attaching clamps. If acid splashes in eyes or on skin, flush
the area immediately with large amounts of water. Refer to “Jump-Starting Procedures”
in “What To Do In Emergencies” for further information.
• Battery gas is flammable and explosive. Keep flame or sparks away from the battery.
Do not use a booster battery or any other booster source with an output greater
than 12 Volts. Do not allow cable clamps to touch each other.
• Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds.
Wash hands after handling.
• The battery in this vehicle has a vent hose that should not be disconnected and
should only be replaced with a battery of the same type (vented).
• It is essential when replacing the cables on the battery that the positive cable
is attached to the positive post and the negative cable is attached to the negative
post. Battery posts are marked positive (+) and negative (-) and are identified
on the battery case. Cable clamps should be tight on the terminal posts and free
of corrosion.
• If a “fast charger” is used while the battery is in the vehicle, disconnect both
vehicle battery cables before connecting the charger to the battery. Do not use
a “fast charger” to provide starting voltage.
