Battery Maintenance
DO NOT leave electric components switched
on when the vehicle is not in READY mode,
otherwise the battery may become flat,
resulting in the failure to start the vehicle
and the reduction of battery life.
Always store batteries upright, tilting may
allow the corrosive substances contained
within the battery to leak out.
Never attempt to dismantle a battery, they
are sealed units.
The battery will become visible when you open the tailgate
and lift the carpet. The battery is a maintenance-free type,
therefore there is no need to refill fluid.
Note: It is recommended to start the vehicle for half an
hour every week to help extend the service life of the
battery. If the vehicle is stored for more than 1 month,
remove the negative terminal from the battery. Make
304
sure that the START/STOP Switch has been turned
off before connecting or disconnecting the negative
terminal.
Battery Replacement
The battery contains sulphuric acid, which is
corrosive.
