When the vehicle battery is being
replaced, please ensure that there
are no open ventilation holes in the
vicinity of the positive terminal. If a
ventilation hole is open in this area, it
must be closed off with a dummy cap,
and the ventilation in the vicinity of the
negative terminal must be opened.
In vehicles with an AGM (Absorptive
Glass Mat) battery, make sure to
have the battery replaced with
another AGM battery.

workshop.
