To prevent battery depletion
●
Turn off the headlamps and the audio system while the engine is off.
●
Turn off all unnecessary electronics when the vehicle travels at low speeds for a prolonged period of time
(such as in traffic jams).
■
When you disassemble the battery or the battery runs out
●
The engine may not be started.
■
Battery charging
●
Due to self discharge of the battery and loss effects caused by some electrical appliances, electricity stored
in the battery will be consumed gradually. If the vehicle leaves unused for a long time, the battery energy will
deplete and the engine may not be started. (The battery is automatically charged when the engine is running)
■
When replacing batteries
●
Use batteries conforming to the genuine standards.
●
Use the batteries having the same battery compartment size with the original one and having the equal or
larger capacity.
• If use a battery that is with a different battery box sizes, the battery may not be properly seated.
• If a battery with a small capacity is used, the battery may be exhausted and the engine may not start even if
the vehicle is idle for a short period of time.
CAUTIONS
■
When disassembling the battery terminals
●
Be sure to remove the negative
㈠
terminal first. If any metal in the surrounding area is contacted when
the positive (+) terminal is removed, a spark may be generated, a fire may be caused, and an electric shock
may be caused, which may cause serious injury or even death.
■
Avoiding battery fires or explosions
Observe the following precautions to prevent accidentally igniting the flammable gas that may be emitted
from the battery.
●
Make sure that the jumper cables are connected to the correct terminals and that you cannot accidentally
touch terminals other than the correct terminals.
●
Do not let the other end of the jumper cable connected to the “+” terminal touch any other parts or metal
surfaces (such as a bracket or any non- paint metal) in this area.
●
Do not allow the "+" clips and clips of the jumper cable to contact each other
●
Do not ignite a fire, smoke or use matches, cigarette lighters near the battery.
●
Take care when connecting the negative cable to the vehicle.
Sparks may be generated when connecting the second jumper cable. Sparks can explode the gas near the
battery and cause personal injury.
