Maintenance-Free Battery - Jeep Patriot Manual

WARNING!
The air cleaner can provide a measure of protection
in the case of engine backfire. Do not remove the air
cleaner unless such removal is necessary for repair or
maintenance. Make sure that no one is near the
engine compartment before starting the vehicle with
the air cleaner removed. Failure to do so can result in
serious personal injury.

Maintenance-Free Battery

You will never have to add water, nor is periodic main-
tenance required.
CAUTION!
When servicing the battery, always reinstall the bat-
tery thermowrap. The thermowrap provides battery
heat protection and will extend overall battery life.
Failure to reinstall the thermowrap can result in
evaporative loss of the battery fluid.
