WARNING - Recharging
battery
When recharging the battery,
observe the following precautions:
• Before performing maintenance
or recharging the battery, turn off
all accessories and stop the
engine.
Your vehicle has a maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery.
• If the battery becomes discharged in a
short time (because, for example, the
headlights or interior lights were left on
while the vehicle was not in use),
recharge it by slow charging (trickle)
for 10 hours.
• The battery must be removed
from the vehicle and placed in an
area with good ventilation.
• The negative battery cable must
be removed first and installed
last when the battery is discon-
nected.
• Do not allow cigarettes, sparks,
or flame near the battery.
• If the battery gradually discharges
because of high electric load while the
vehicle is being used, recharge it at 20-
30A for two hours.
• Watch the battery during charg-
ing, and stop or reduce the charg-
ing rate if the battery cells begin
gassing (boiling) violently or if
the temperature of the electrolyte
of any cell exceeds 49°C (120°F).
