MAINTENANCE
A battery generates hydrogen gas which is flammable and
explosive. Keep any flame or spark away from the vent holes.
Keep batteries out of reach of children. Battery posts,
terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead
components. Wash hands after handling batteries.
If the battery has been disconnected or a new battery has been
installed, the clock (if equipped) and the preset radio (if
equipped) stations must be reset once the battery is
reconnected.
The replacement battery must meet the specification of the
originally fitted battery.
14.8.2 Checking the Electrolyte Level

months. Check all the six cells for proper electrolyte levels. If the

14.9 Appearance Care and Protection

14.9.1 Washing the Exterior
• Wash your vehicle regularly with cool or lukewarm water and a
neutral pH soap
• Never use strong household detergents or soap, such as dish
washing or laundry liquid. These products can discolor and spot
painted surfaces
• Never wash a vehicle that is 'hot to the touch' or during
exposure to strong, direct sunlight
• Always use a clean sponge or car wash mitt with plenty of water
for best results
• Dry the vehicle with a chamois or soft terry cloth towel in order
to eliminate water spotting
• It is especially important to wash the vehicle regularly during the
winter months, as dirt and road salt are difficult to remove and
cause damage to the vehicle
• Immediately remove items such as gasoline, diesel fuel, bird
droppings and insect deposits; they can cause damage to the
vehicle's paint work and trim over time
