Battery
If the terminals are severely
corroded, clean them with baking
soda and water. Then use a
wrench to loosen and remove the
cables from the terminals. Always
disconnect the negative (—) cable
first and reconnect it last.
Clean the battery terminals with a
terminal cleaning tool or wire
brush. Reconnect and tighten the
cables, and then coat the
terminals with grease.
If you need to connect the battery
to a charger, disconnect both
cables to prevent damage to the
car's electrical system.
If your car's battery is
disconnected or goes dead, the
audio system will disable itself.
The next time you turn on the
radio you will see "Code" in the
frequency display. Use the Preset
buttons to enter the five-digit
code (see page
86
).
Charging the battery with the
cables connected can seriously
damage your car's electronic
controls. Detach the battery
cables before connecting the
battery to a charger.
