BATTERY
Maintenance
The battery requires very little
maintenance. The fluid level is
checked during the routine service
inspections.
Removal and installation
If the battery has been
disconnected the vehicle may
exhibit some unusual driving
characteristics for approximately
8 km after battery reconnection
while the engine management
system realigns itself with the
engine.
Procedure when starting the
engine with jump leads
Connect batteries with only the
same nominal voltage (12 volts).
Use jump leads with insulated
clamps and adequate size cable. Do
not disconnect the battery from the
vehicle's electrical system.
