cations and dimensions as the original equip-
ment battery.
Intelligen t energy management in your veh i-
cle is respons ible for d istributing the e lectr i-

cha rged better then vehicles without this sys-

ergy is availab le once again after you have
changed the battery, we recommend that you
install batteries of the same type and manu-
facture only (the same as those installed at
the time your vehicle was delivered). Specifi-
cations are listed on the battery hous ing . Your
author ized dealer must code the battery in
the ene rgy management system to enable you
to use the energy management funct ions cor-
rectly after replac ing the battery.
If it is not poss ible to use a battery of this
type, the new battery must have the same ca-
pac ity, voltage (12 volts), amperage , con-
struction and plug seal ing.
When insta lling the battery, make sure the ig-
nit ion and all e lectr ical consumers a re turned
off.
Q;) Note

fumes or battery ac id can leak o ut.
