Battery Disconnect Caution
WARNING
!
Before servicing any electrical component, the ignition and start switch must be in the OFF or LOCK
position and all electrical loads must be OFF, unless instructed otherwise in these procedures. If a tool
or equipment could easily come in contact with a live exposed electrical terminal, also disconnect the
negative battery cable. Failure to follow these precautions may cause personal injury and/or damage
to the vehicle or its components.
Batteries Produce Explosive Gases Caution
WARNING
!
Batteries produce explosive gases. Batteries contain corrosive acid. Batteries supply levels of
electrical current high enough to cause burns. Therefore, in order to reduce the risk of personal injury
while working near a battery, observe the following guidelines:
• Always shield your eyes.
• Avoid leaning over the battery whenever possible.
• Do not expose the battery to open flames or sparks.
• Do not allow battery acid to contact the eyes or the skin.
– Flush any contacted areas with water immediately and thoroughly.
– Get medical help.
