Battery Check

Checking Battery Condition
Battery Exterior
Check the battery exterior for corroded or
loose terminal connections, cracks or loose
hold-down clamp. First remove the ground
cable from the negative ('-') terminal.
After checking, the cable to the negative
terminal should be installed last. If the
battery terminal is corroded, wash it with a
solution of warm water and baking soda.
After Driving
Caution
Prevent further corrosion
applying petroleum jelly to the outside of
the terminals. If the terminal connections
are loose, tighten their clamp nuts, but do
not tighten excessively. Tighten the hold-
down clamp only enough to keep the battery
firmly in place. Tightening excessively may
damage the battery's case.
• Be sure the engine and all accessories
are turned OFF before performing
maintenance.
• When washing, ensure that the washing
solution does not get into the battery
• Do not remove the battery connection
while engine is in running. This
may cause serious damage to fuel
system-ECU and to other electronic
equipments.
• Always disconnect the
terminal cable first from the battery.
But when reconnecting, always connect
the cable to the positive terminal first.
