Check the condition of the battery

monthly by looking at the test

indicator window. The label on the

battery explains the test indicator's

colors.

Check the terminals for corrosion (a

white or yellowish powder). To

remove it, cover the terminals with a

solution of baking soda and water. It

will bubble up and turn brown. When

this stops, wash it off with plain

water. Dry off the battery with a cloth

or paper towel. Coat the terminals

with grease to help prevent future

corrosion.

If additional battery maintenance is

needed, see your dealer or a

qualified technician.

WARNING: Battery posts,

terminals, and related accessories

contain lead and lead compounds.

Wash your hands after handling.

If you need to connect the battery to

a charger, disconnect both cables to

prevent damaging your vehicle's

electrical system. Always disconnect

the negative (－) cable first, and

reconnect it last.

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.

Wear protective clothing and a

face shield, or have a skilled

technician do the battery

maintenance.
