WARNING

 

 

 

BATTERY

 

Your vehicle has a sealed battery, which requires little maintenance. Always 
keep battery terminals and connections free of corrosion. If cleaning is 
necessary, remove the corrosion with a stiff wire brush. Wash with a solution of 
one tablespoon baking soda and one cup water. Rinse well with tap water and 
dry off with clean shop towels. Coat the terminals with dielectric grease or 
petroleum jelly.

 

BATTERY REMOVAL

 

 

 

 

1.  Remove the Front hood cover to access the battery.

 

2.  Disconnect the black (-) battery cable first. Disconnect the red (+) battery 

cable last.

 

3.  Remove the battery hold-down strap.

 

4.  Lift the battery out of the vehicle.

 

BATTERY INSTALLATION

 

Using a new battery that has not been fully charged can damage the battery and 
result in a shorter life. It can also hinder vehicle performance. Follow the battery 
charging instructions on page 91 before installing the battery.

 

1.  Ensure that the battery is fully charged.

 

2.  Place the fully charged battery in the battery holder. Make sure the positive 

terminal is toward the 

driver’s side of the vehicle.

 

3.  Coat the terminals with dielectric grease or petroleum jelly.

 

4.  Connect and tighten the red (+) cable first. Connect and tighten the black (-) 

cable last.

 

5.  Install the hold-down bracket.

 

6.  Close the front hood cover.

 

Improperly connecting or disconnecting battery cables can result in an 

explosion and cause serious injury or death. When removing the battery, 

always disconnect the negative (black) cable first. When reinstalling the 

battery, always connect the negative (black) cable last.
