Battery

Symbols

You will find the following symbols on

your vehicle battery. To avoid injury,

please comply with the corresponding

precautions whenever you work with or

near the battery.

Before handling the battery,

please read the following infor-

mation.

A highly-explosive gas is gener-

ated when the battery is

charged.

Never allow sparks or open

flame in the vicinity of the

battery. Avoid sparks from elec-

trical cables or electrical equipment.

Turn the key to position 0 in the ignition

lock when disconnecting or connecting

the battery. Do not short-circuit the

battery terminals. This creates a risk of

injury from high-energy sparks.

In order to protect the battery

case from ultraviolet radiation,

do not expose it to direct

sunlight. A discharged battery can

freeze. Store the battery in areas where

temperature remains above freezing.

Battery acid is extremely corro-

sive. Wear eye protection and

protective gloves. Do not tip the

battery. Battery acid can leak from the

ventilation openings.

Do not allow children access to

batteries and battery acid.

Wear eye protection. Do not

allow particles containing

battery acid or lead to come into

contact with your eyes, your skin, or

your clothing.

If you happen to get acid in your

eyes, rinse thoroughly for

15 minutes with clear water.

Following that, consult a physician

immediately. If your skin or clothing are

splashed by acid, rinse immediately

with plenty of soap and water. If elec-

trolyte is accidentally ingested, consult

a physician immediately.

Removal and installation

Do not disconnect the battery

when the engine is running. If you

do so, the ensuing voltage surge will

damage the vehicle's onboard elec-

tronics. Do not make any modifications

in the wires to the positive terminal. If

you do so, the protective function of the

safety battery terminal is no longer

ensured. Repair and disposal must be

performed by trained technicians

only.<

When removing the battery, disconnect

the cable on the negative terminal first,

then the cable on the positive terminal.

Loosen the center adjusting screw on

the battery retaining strap (use the

screwdriver included with the onboard

tool kit) and disconnect the strap.

When installing a battery, connect the

positive terminal first, then connect the

negative terminal.

When installing a battery, be sure

that it is mounted properly and

that the retaining bracket is installed

with the center adjustment screw. If this

is not done, the battery will not be

adequately secured in case of an acci-

dent.<
