Battery Recharging Precautions - Toyota HIACE 2006 Owner's Manual

NOTICE
Do not overfill the cells. Excess elec-
trolyte could squirt out of the battery
during heavy charging, causing corro-
sion or damage.
ADDING DISTILLED WATER
1. Remove the vent plugs.
2. Add distilled water to cells needing
fluid.
If the side of your battery is covered,
check the water level by looking down
directly above the cell as illustrated
above.
3. Retighten the vent plugs securely.
Never recharge the battery while the
engine is running. Also, be sure all
accessories are turned off.
• Always charge the battery in an un-
confined area. Do not charge the
battery in a garage or closed room
where there is not sufficient ventila-
tion.
• Be sure to remove the vent plugs
before recharging.
