Battery maintenance
Driving habits and conditions, climate, the number of starts, etc. all affect the service life and function of
the battery. In order for your battery to perform satisfactorily, keep the following in mind:
· Check the fluid level in the battery every 6 months or every 7,500 miles* (12,000 km).
The fluid level in each battery cell should be checked - use a screw driver to open the caps and a
flashlight to inspect the level.
