According to the current load
condition and battery status, the
system may limit the power of some
electrical appliances. Please ensure
the vehicle is placed in READY mode
as soon as possible to charge the
battery.
Best Battery Service
DO NOT leave electric components
switched on when not in READY
mode, this may cause the battery to
become flat, resulting in the failure
of the ability to set vehicle into
READY mode and the reduction of
battery life.
Keep the battery top clean and dry.
• Keep the terminals and
connections clean, tight, and
coated with petroleum jelly or
terminal grease.
• Rinse any spilled electrolyte from
the battery immediately with a
solution of water and baking
soda.
• Keep the battery securely
mounted.
• Tighten loose terminals and hold
down clamp nuts only enough to
keep the battery firmly in place.
• Tightening excessively may
damage the battery terminals.

turn o the ignition switch when
leaving the vehicle.
Do not leave the power tailgate
open for a long period of time. This
may drain the battery.
Unauthorized Electrical Devices
The vehicle can detect self-
discharge of the battery due to
over-current that is generated by
unauthorized electrical devices
such as dashboard camera (dash
cam) mounting during parking. If
the warning continues even after
external electrical devices are
removed, have your vehicle
inspected by a professional
workshop.
Accessories- All accessories
connected to the battery powered
outlets should be removed or
turned o when the vehicle is not
in use to protect the battery
against discharge.
It is advisable to avoid use of any
12V vehicle systems &
accessories such as Power tail
gate, Sound system, Interior &
Exterior lamps, AC Blower, ….etc
when engine is switched o. This
may cause 12V battery to drain
faster.
