Battery recharging
By battery charger
Your vehicle has a maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery.
Should your vehicle's battery become
discharged either run the engine for at
least 60 minutes driving or at idle.
Alternatively you may connect a fully
automatic regulated charger to the
engine compartment front jumper posts
or at the battery in the luggage
compartment.
Do not use a manual unregulated charger,
it may cause the battery to overheat and
create a potential hazard.

• The battery must be removed from the
vehicle and placed in a well ventilated
area.
• Watch the battery during charging, and
stop or reduce the charging rate if the
battery cells begin boiling violently.
• The negative battery cable must be
removed first and installed last when
the battery is disconnected. Disconnect
the battery charger in the following
order:
1. Turn off the battery charger main
switch.
