Battery replacement
[SV29620(ALL)11/91]
When the original equipment maintenance-free
battery is replaced under warranty, it may be
replaced by a low-maintenance battery.
[SV29625(ALL)03/95]
The low-maintenance battery has removable vent
caps for checking the electrolyte level and
adding water, if necessary.
[SV29630(ALL)04/93]
The electrolyte level should be checked at least
every 24 months or 24,000 miles (40,000 km) in
temperatures up to 90˚F (32˚C) and more in
temperatures above 90˚F (32˚C). Keep the
electrolyte level in each cell up to the level
indicator. Do not overfill.
[SV29635(ALL)03/95]
If the level gets low, you can add plain tap
water to the battery, provided the water isn’t
hard or doesn’t have a high mineral or alkali
content. However, if possible, refill with distilled
water. If the battery needs water quite often,
have the charging system checked for a possible
problem.
[SV29636(ALL)01/95]
If you ever disconnect the battery or install a
new battery, you must allow the computer to
“relearn” its idle condition before your vehicle
will drive properly. To begin this process, put
the gearshift in P (Park) (automatic transaxle) or
N (Neutral) (manual transaxle), set the
emergency brake, turn off all the accessories, and
start the vehicle. Bring the engine to normal
operating temperature.
