Battery recharging
Your vehicle has a maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery.
• If the battery becomes discharged
over a short time (because, for ex-
ample, the headlights or interior lights
were left on whilst the vehicle was not
in use), recharge it by slow charging
(trickle) for 10 hours.
3. Unhook the positive clamp from
the positive battery terminal.
• If the battery gradually discharges
because of high electrical load whilst
the vehicle is being used, recharge it
at 20-30A for two hours.
