WARNING:
Keep batteries out of reach of children. Batteries
contain sulfuric acid. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing.
Shield your eyes when working near the battery to protect against
possible splashing of acid solution. In case of acid contact with skin or
eyes, flush immediately with water for a minimum of 15 minutes and
get prompt medical attention. If acid is swallowed, call a physician
immediately.
WARNING:
Battery posts, terminals and related accessories
contain lead and lead compounds.
Wash hands after handling.
Because your vehicle’s engine is electronically-controlled by a computer,
some control conditions are maintained by power from the battery. When
the battery is disconnected or a new battery is installed, the engine must
relearn its idle and fuel trim strategy for optimum driveability and
performance. To begin this process:
1. With the vehicle at a complete stop, set the parking brake.
2. Put the gearshift in P (Park), turn off all accessories and start the
vehicle. Step on the accelerator to start the engine.
3. Run the vehicle until the engine reaches normal operating
temperature.
4. Allow the engine to idle for at least one minute.
5. Step on the accelerator to start the engine. While the engine is
running, shift the vehicle to neutral.
6. Allow the vehicle to run for at least one minute by pressing on the
accelerator pedal.
7. Drive the vehicle to complete the relearning process.
•
The vehicle may need to be driven 10 miles (16 km) or more to
relearn the idle and fuel trim strategy.
•
If you do not allow the engine to relearn its idle trim, the idle
quality of your vehicle may be adversely affected until the idle
trim is eventually relearned.
If the battery has been disconnected or a new battery has been installed,
the clock and the preset radio stations must be reset once the battery is
reconnected.
