Battery – maintenance
Proper battery maintenance can help prolong its
service life.
Maintenance
•
Use a screw driver to open the caps or cover
and a flashlight to inspect the level.
•
If necessary, add distilled water. The level
should never be above the indicator.
•
The fluid level should be checked if the bat-
tery has been recharged.
•
After inspection, be sure the cap over each
battery cell or the cover is securely in place.
•
Check that the battery cables are correctly
connected and properly tightened.
•
Never disconnect the battery when the
engine is running, or when the key is in the
ignition. This could damage the vehicle's
electrical system.
•
The battery should be disconnected from the
vehicle when a battery charger is used
directly on the battery.
•
To help keep the battery in good condition,
the vehicle should be driven for at least 15
minutes a week or connected to a charger
with an automatic charging function.
•
If the battery is fully discharged a number of
times, this may shorten its service life. Keep-
ing the battery fully charged helps prolong its
service life.
•
The service life of a battery is affected by
factors such as driving conditions and cli-
mate. Extreme cold may also further
decrease the battery’s starting capacity.
•
Because the battery’s starting capacity
decreases with time, it may be necessary to
recharge it if the vehicle is not driven for an
extended period of time or if the vehicle is
usually only driven short distances.
CAUTION
•
Always use distilled or deionized water
(battery water).
•
Never fill above the level mark in the cell.
