When replacing the 12-volt battery
●
Use a Central Degassing type 12-volt battery (European regulations).
●
Use a 12-volt battery that the case size is same as the previous one (LN0),
20 hour rate capacity (20HR) is equivalent (35Ah) or greater, and perfor-
mance rating (CCA) is equivalent (240A) or greater.
• If the sizes differ, the 12-volt battery cannot be properly secured.
• If the 20 hour rate capacity is low, even if the time period where the vehi-
cle is not used is a short time, the 12-volt battery may discharge and the
hybrid system may not be able to start.
●
Use a 12-volt battery with a handle. If a 12-volt battery without a handle is
used, removal is more difficult.
●
After replacing, firmly attach the follow-
ing items to the exhaust hole of the 12-
volt battery.
Use the exhaust hose that was
attached to the 12-volt battery before
replacing and confirm that it is firmly
connected to the hole section of the
vehicle.
