Basically equipped battery is mainte-
nance free type. If your vehicle is
equipped with the battery marked
with LOWER and UPPER on the side,
you can check the electrolyte level.
The electrolyte level should be
between LOWER and UPPER. If the
electrolyte level is low, it needs to add
distilled (demineralized) water (Never
add sulfuric acid or other electrolyte).
When refill, be careful not to splash
