WARNING
 Never disconnect the battery while the
engine is running, or you could damage
the vehicle's electrical parts.
 Never short-circuit the battery. This could
cause it to overheat and be damaged.
 Keep sparks, cigarettes, and flames away
from the battery because the battery could
explode.
 Electrolyte (battery acid) is made of corro-
sive diluted sulfuric acid. If it spills on
nearby parts, it can crack, stain, or dis-
color them. And if it gets on your skin or
in your eyes, it can cause burns or blind-
ness. Please observe the following han-

other nearby parts, wipe it off with a soft
cloth or chamois soaked in a solution of
water and neutral detergent then imme-
diately rinse the affected parts with
plenty of water.
• If electrolyte gets on your hands or
clothes, rinse thoroughly with water. If
electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush them

WARNING
 If you are quick-charging your battery,
first disconnect the battery cables.
 In order to prevent a short-circuit, be sure
to disconnect the negative (-) terminal
first, and reconnect it last.
 Battery posts, terminals and related acces-
sories contain lead and lead compounds.
Wash hands after handling.
NOTE
 Check each battery terminal for corrosion.
You can stop more corrosion by washing
with a solution of baking soda and water.
Grease the posts and clamps after cleaning or
tightening them.
 Check to see that the battery is securely
installed and cannot be moved. Also check
each terminal for tightness.
 If you will not be driving your vehicle for a
long period of time, remove the battery and
store it in a place where the battery fluid will
not freeze. The battery only should be stored
with a full charge.
 Before cleaning the battery, tighten all the
filler port caps to keep dirt and moisture out.
