come in contact with eyes,

The maintenance-free battery is
located in the trunk under the right-

The service life of the battery is
dependent on its condition of
charge. The battery should always
be kept sufficiently charged, in
order to last an optimum length of
time.
Therefore, we strongly recom­
mend that you have the battery
charge checked frequently, and
corrected if necessary, espe­
cially if you use the vehicle less
than approximately 200 miles
(300 km) per month, mostly for
short distance trips, or if it is not
used for long periods of time.
Only charge a battery with a
battery charger after the battery
has been disconnected from the
vehicle electrical circuit.
Always disconnect the battery
negative lead first and connect last.
When removing and connecting
the battery, always make sure that
all electrical consumers are off and
the key is in steering lock position
0. The battery and its vent tube
must always be securely installed
when the car is in operation.
While the engine is running the
battery terminal clamps must not
be loosened or detached, other­
wise the generator and other
electronic components would be
damaged.
Note:
After reconnecting the battery also
resynchronize the Express feature
of the power windows and the
Adaptive Damping System (ADS)
(see Power Windows and ADS in
Index).
Battery Recycling
Batteries contain materials that can
harm the environment with
improper disposal.
Large 12 Volt storage batteries
contain lead.
Recycling of batteries is the
preferred method of disposal.
Many states require sellers of
batteries to accept old batteries for
recycling.
