Checking Electrolyte Level
1. With the engine off, open the hood to see the
battery.
2. Open covers to see into the cells. The electrolyte
must be up to the lower part of the tube
(Fig. 40). Do not allow the electrolyte to get
below the plates. (Fig. 40).
3. If the electrolyte is low, add the required amount
of distilled water; refer to Adding Water to the
Battery, page 35.
