Maintenance
and care
205
When lifting a plasticĆcased
battery, excessive pressure
on the end walls could cause acid
to flow through the vent caps,
resulting in personal injury and/or
damage to the vehicle or battery.
Lift the battery with a battery
carrier or with your hands on
opposite corners.
Keep batteries out of reach
of children. Batteries
contain sulfuric acid. Avoid
contact with skin, eyes or
clothing. Shield your eyes when
working near the battery to
protect against possible splashing
of acid solution. In case of acid
contact with skin or eyes, flush
immediately with water for a
minimum of 15 minutes and get
prompt medical attention. If acid
is swallowed, call a physician
immediately.

disconnected or a new battery is
installed, the engine must relearn
its idle conditions before your
vehicle will drive properly. To begin
