Battery recharging
Your vehicle has a maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery.
• If the battery becomes discharged
over a short time (because, for
example, the headlights or interior
lights were left on while the vehicle
was not in use), recharge it by slow
charging (trickle) for 10 hours.
• If the battery gradually discharges
because of high electrical load while
the vehicle is being used, recharge it
at 20-30A for two hours.
WARNING
When recharging the battery, observe
the following precautions:
• Before performing maintenance or
recharging the battery, turn off all
accessories and stop the engine.
• Do not allow cigarettes, sparks, or
flame near the battery.
• Wear eye protection when checking
the battery during charging.
• The battery must be removed from
the vehicle and placed in an area with
good ventilation.
• Watch the battery during charging,
and stop or reduce the charging
rate if the battery cells begin
gassing (boiling) violently or if the
temperature of the electrolyte of any
cell exceeds 49°C (120°F).
• The negative battery cable must be
removed first and installed last when
the battery is disconnected.
• Disconnect the battery charger in the
following order.
1. Turn off the battery charger main
switch.
2. Unhook the negative clamp from
the negative battery terminal.
3. Unhook the positive clamp from
