WARNING
• Batteries produce flammable
hydrogen gas. Keep flames and
sparks away from the battery or an
explosion may occur. Never smoke
when working near the battery.
• When checking or servicing the
battery, disconnect the negative
cable. Be careful not to cause a
short circuit by allowing metal
objects to contact the battery posts
and the vehicle at the same time.
• To avoid harm to yourself or dam-
age to your vehicle or battery, fol-
low the jump-starting instructions
in "EMERGENCY SERVICE" sec-
tion if it is necessary to jump-start
your vehicle.
• Diluted sulfuric acid spilled from
battery can cause blindness or
severe burns. Use proper eye pro-

For maintenance-free battery (cap-less
type), you need not add water. For tradi-
tional type battery, which has water filler
caps, the level of the battery solution must
be kept between the upper level line
"MAX" (1) and the lower level line "MIN" (2)
at all times. If the level is found to be below
the lower level line (2), add distilled water
to the upper level line (1). You should peri-
odically check the battery, battery termi-
nals, and battery hold-down bracket for
corrosion. Remove corrosion using a stiff
brush and ammonia mixed with water, or
baking soda mixed with water. After
removing corrosion, rinse with clean water.
If your vehicle is not going to be driven for
a month or longer, disconnect the cable
from the negative terminal of the battery to
help prevent discharge.
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING
If the battery is used with battery
level being less than the lower level
line "MIN" (2), it may cause reduced
battery life, an exothermic heat, or an
explosion by hydrogen gas occurring
from the battery. Do not use the bat-
tery with battery level being less than
the lower level line "MIN" (2).
NOTICE
• If the battery liquid is added more
than the upper level line "MAX" (1),
liquid may leak by vibrations
during driving or liquid may spray
out in some case depending on the
condition of battery charging.
These may cause damage to the
parts near the battery. If the battery
liquid overspills, immediately wash
away with water. Do not add the
battery liquid more than the upper
level line "MAX" (1).
