Battery

Your vehicle has a maintenance free battery. When it is
time for a new battery, see your dealer/retailer for
one that has the replacement number shown on the
original battery’s label. See Engine Compartment
Overview on page 5-12 for battery location.

Warning: Battery posts, terminals, and related
accessories contain lead and lead compounds,
chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands after
handling.

Vehicle Storage

{

CAUTION:

Batteries have acid that can burn you and gas
that can explode. You can be badly hurt if you
are not careful. See Jump Starting on page 5-35
for tips on working around a battery without
getting hurt.

Infrequent Usage: If you drive your vehicle infrequently,
remove the black, negative (

−

) cable from the battery.

This will help keep the battery from running down.

Extended Storage: For extended storage of your vehicle,
remove the black, negative (

−

) cable from the battery or

use a battery trickle charger. This will help maintain the
charge of the battery over an extended period of time.
