INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

Battery

WARNING
• Batteries produce
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-
tection and gloves. Flush eyes or
body with ample water and get
medical care immediately if suf-
fered. Keep batteries out of reach
of children.

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. You should periodically check
the battery, battery terminals, 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.
The lead-acid battery and lithium-ion bat-
tery (if equipped) discharge gradually. In
order to avoid a flat battery, drive the vehi-
cle once a month for at least 30 minutes to
recharge the battery.
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.
If the battery is used with battery
(1) (1)
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
(2) (2)
from the battery. Do not use the bat-
tery with battery level being less than
the lower level line "MIN" (2).

• If the battery liquid is added more
than the upper level line "MAX" (1),
liquid may
during driving or liquid may spray
out in some case depending on the
condition
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).
