Service and Maintenance
Battery
This vehicle is equipped with a mainte-
nance-free battery. Refer to "Engine Com-
partment" in Section 7 "Service and
Maintenance" for the position of the battery.
Battery posts, terminals and related
accessories contain lead and lead
compounds which can cause cancer and
damage the reproductive system. There-
fore, wash hands after touching them.
Using and Maintenance of Bat-
tery
To extend the life of vehicle's battery and
maintain the normal operation of the vehi-
cle's electrical system, some suggestions
are provided for you in the following:
•
Prevent overcharging the battery or pre-
vent the battery from discharging for a
long time.
•
The external charging should be per-
formed as soon as possible when the
battery voltage becomes insufficient
and the lighting becomes dark, and the
starting seems weak.
•
The battery should be kept away from
hot source and open flame. Keep good
ventilation conditions while charging or
using it to avoid injuries caused by fire.
•
To prevent the battery from discharging
a large current for a long time, the start-
ing time should not excess 5 seconds
each time. The interval time between
two times of continuous starting should
be within 10 to 15 seconds.
•
The battery should be securely installed
on the vehicle to reduce vibration.
•
Frequently check if the battery post
clamps are securely and well connected
to prevent sparks, which could result in
battery explosion. The oxides and sul-
fates produced by the battery clamps
must be scraped off and the clamps
should be coated with petroleum jelly to
prevent re-rusting.
When the vehicle is driven in cold areas,
discharged battery should be avoided to
prevent the electrolyte from freezing.
