The vehicle may use either a sealed lead-acid battery or an AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat)
battery. Lead acid battery contains liquid sulphuric acid and can spill when overturned.
AGM battery (known as VRLA battery, valve regulated lead acid) also contains sulphuric
acid, but the acid is contained in glass mats between terminal plates.
It is recommended that the replacement aftermarket battery has the same specifications,
such as capacity and type, as the existing battery. If the original battery is replaced with
a different type of battery (e.g. a lead-acid battery is replaced with an AGM battery) or a
battery with a different capacity (mAh), the vehicle may require reprogramming of the
new battery type, in addition to performing the battery reset. Consult the vehicle manual
for additional vehicle-specific information.
Register Battery Replacement
This option displays the mileage reading of last battery was replaced, registers the
battery replacement after replacing a new battery and informs the power management
system that a new battery has been installed.
If the battery change is not registered, the power management system will not function
properly, which may not provide the battery with enough charging power to operate the
car or limit the functionality of vehicle’s electrical systems.
