NOTE
l
After replacing the battery, the electronic
control system data for the automatic trans-
mission, etc., will be erased. As a result,
shift shocks may occur.
Shift shocks will become smoother after sev-
eral changes in speed.
Checking battery electrolyte
level
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.
Check the electrolyte level at least once every
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.
Removing and installing the air
duct (Except for 3000 models)
To replenish with the distilled water, remove
the air duct.
