Removing and installing the air
duct
To replenish with the distilled water, remove
the air duct.
WARNING
l Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK"
position or put the operation mode in
OFF.
Make sure that your clothes cannot be
caught by the fan or drive belt. Personal
injury could result.
Remove the two bolts (A), and then remove
the air duct (B).
To install the air duct, perform the removal
steps in reverse.
During cold weather
The capacity of the battery is reduced at low
temperatures. This is an inevitable result of
its chemical and physical properties. This is
why a very cold battery, particularly one that
is not fully charged, will only deliver a frac-
tion of the starter current which is normally
available.
We recommend you to have the battery
checked before the start of cold weather and,
if necessary, have it charged or replaced.
This does not only ensure reliable starting,
but a battery which is kept fully charged also
has a longer life.
Disconnection and connection
To disconnect the battery cable, stop the en-
gine, first disconnect the negative (-) terminal
and then the positive (+) terminal. When con-
necting the battery, first connect the positive
(+) terminal and then the negative (-) termi-
nal.
NOTE
l Open the terminal cover (A) before discon-
necting or connecting the positive (+) termi-
nal of the battery.
OGKE18E1
NOTE
l
Loosen the nut (B), and then disconnect the
battery cable from the positive (+) terminal.
WARNING
l
Always wear protective eye goggles when
working near the battery. Battery electro-
lyte contains sulphuric acid, so getting it
in your eyes is dangerous.
l Keep sparks, cigarettes, and flames away
from the battery because the battery
could explode.
l The battery electrolyte is extremely caus-
tic. Do not allow it to come in contact with
your eyes, skin, clothing, or the painted
surfaces of the vehicle.
Spilt electrolyte should be flushed imme-
diately with ample amounts of water.
Irritation to eyes or skin from contact
with electrolyte requires immediate medi-
cal attention.
l Ventilate when charging or using the bat-
tery in an enclosed space.
