CAUTION
• Whenever fluid has been added, either
charge the battery or run the vehicle for a
while. It is especially important in cold
weather as the battery can freeze up and be
damaged.
• If you do not use the vehicle for an extended
period, remove the battery.
• Before disconnecting the battery, place the
starter switch in the “LOCK” position and
wait for at least 30 seconds. Never discon-
nect the battery with the starter switch in the
“ON” position. If you disconnect the battery
with the starter switch in the “ON” position
or without waiting for at least 30 seconds
after placing the switch in the “LOCK” posi-
tion, data during engine running time will not
be stored correctly in the engine control
computer. This could disrupt the engine con-
trol system and other related systems.
WARNING
• The battery generates flammable hydro-
gen gas and should be kept away from
open flame and spark.
• When removing the battery, always dis-
connect the negative (–) terminal first and
reconnect it last. A spark can occur if a
tool touches the positive (+) terminal and
frame with the negative (–) terminal con-
nected.
• When handling the battery, wear safety
goggles to protect your eyes.
• Perform all battery checks with the engine
turned off.
