After replacing the battery, the electronic
control system data for the automatic trans-

shift shocks may occur.
Shift shocks will become smoother after sev-
eral changes in speed.

The electrolyte level must be between the
specified limit on the outside of the battery.
Replenish with distilled water as necessary.
The inside of the battery is divided into sev-
eral compartments; remove the cap from each
compartment and fill to the upper mark. Do
not top up beyond the upper mark because
spillage during driving could cause damage.

4 weeks, depending on the operating condi-
tions.
If the battery is not used, it will discharge by
itself with time.
Check it once every 4 weeks and charge with
low current as necessary.
