@ Tips
The disc harged battery must be properly
connected to the vehicle's electrical sys-
tem. When jump starting or charg ing the
battery, never connect the negative
ground cable to the battery negat ive post
because the bat tery manager system must
be ab le to detect the battery's state of
charge. Always connect the negative
ground cab le to t he negative ground pos t
of t he battery manager cont rol unit.
