Car care and technical information
Charging/replacing the battery
Connect the positive lead to the positive (+)
battery terminal (red), and the negative lead
to a good ground point, e.g. the lifting lug at
the front of the engine.
To remove the battery, always disconnect
the negative (black) lead first and reconnect
it last when fitting the new battery.
The battery size must comply with DIN
53735 MFI 230/2.16.
NOTE
To avert the danger of short-circuiting
between the positive (+) terminal on the
battery and the inlet manifold on the
engine, always disconnect the negative
(–) battery lead first and reconnect it last.
NOTE
• If boost charging never use anything
but a 12-volt charger, see page 188.
• Never reverse the polarity of the bat-
tery by connecting the leads to the
wrong terminals. The red, positive
lead connects to the positive (+) termi-
nal, and the black, negative lead to the
negative (–) terminal.
• Serious damage can occur to the car´s
electrical system if a battery or alterna-
tor lead is disconnected while the
engine is running.
• The nut on the battery clamp should
be tightened to a torque of 10 Nm.
