INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

59RN09430
For maintenance-free battery (cap-less
type), you need not add water. For tradi-
tional type battery, which has water filler
caps, the level of the battery solution must
be kept between the upper level line
“MAX” (1) and the lower level line “MIN” (2)
at all times. If the level is found to be below
the lower level line (2), add distilled water
to the upper level line (1). You should peri-
odically check the battery, battery termi-
nals, and battery hold-down bracket for
corrosion. Remove corrosion using a stiff
brush and ammonia mixed with water, or
baking soda mixed with water. After
removing corrosion, rinse with clean water.
If your vehicle is not going to be driven for
a month or longer, disconnect the cable
from the negative terminal of the battery to
help prevent discharge.
NOTE:
The battery liquid is consumed when the
battery is used. If the level is found to be
less than the center of upper level “MAX”
(1) and lower level “MIN” (2), add distilled
water till it reaches the upper level line
“MAX” (1).

WARNING
If the battery is used with battery
level being less than the lower level
line “MIN” (2), it may cause reduced
battery life, an exothermic heat, or an
explosion by hydrogen gas occurring
from the battery. Do not use the bat-
tery with battery level being less than
the lower level line “MIN” (2).
NOTICE
• If the battery liquid is added more
than the upper level line “MAX” (1),
liquid may leak by vibrations
during driving or liquid may spray
out in some case depending on the
condition of battery charging.
These may cause damage to the
parts near the battery. If the battery
liquid overspills, immediately wash
away with water. Do not add the
battery liquid more than the upper
level line “MAX” (1).
