BATTERY
Excessive use of accessories may drain the battery and
leave insufficient reserve to start the vehicle.
The vehicle uses a combination starter/generator to
both start the engine and charge the battery. The
engine will not idle; therefore, the battery cannot be
charged while the vehicle is stopped. Do not operate
accessory items (such as accessory lights, radios,
winch, etc.) excessively while the vehicle is stopped.
The generator is capable of supplying 35 amps; there-
fore, operation of all accessories could result in the dis-
charge of the battery even though the engine is running
and the generator operating. Discharging the battery is
known as deep cycling. The battery is not a deep cycle
model, but is a starting battery. Multiple deep cycling
will result in the premature failure of the battery.
If the vehicle battery has become discharged, it must be
charged using a 12 volt charger that is rated at 10 amps
or less and in accordance with all instructions provided
by the manufacturer of the charger.

LABELS AND PICTOGRAMS illustrates and explains
pictograms that may appear on the vehicle. Not all pic-
tograms shown in LABELS AND PICTOGRAMS will be
