Checking the Battery

Check the battery terminals for corrosion monthly.
The battery condition is monitored by a sensor on
the negative terminal. If there is a problem with the
sensor, a message on the information display*/multi-
information display* appears. Have your vehicle
checked by a dealer.
WARNING
The battery gives off explosive hydrogen gas during normal operation.
A spark or flame can cause the battery to explode with enough force to kill or
seriously hurt you.
When conducting any battery maintenance, wear protective clothing and a
face shield, or have a skilled technician do it.
WARNING: Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead
compounds. Wash your hands after handling.
