Your vehicle is fitted with either an
Absorbed Glass Matt (AGM) (1) battery or
a low maintenance (2) battery.
Note: AGM batteries are sealed for life
and require no maintenance.
Do not attempt to open or remove
the top from an AGM battery.
In hot climates, more frequent checks of
the low maintenance battery electrolyte
level and condition are required. Contact
a Retailer/Authorised Repairer to have the
battery checked.
CONNECTING JUMP LEADS
Remove all metal jewellery before
working on, or near, a battery or
boost terminals. Never allow
metal objects or vehicle
components to come into contact
with the battery or boost
terminals. Metal objects can cause
sparks, and/or short circuits,
resulting in an explosion.
Do not allow the battery posts or
terminals to come into contact
with your skin. They contain lead
and lead compounds which are
toxic. Always wash your hands
thoroughly after handling the
battery.
Do not expose any battery to a
naked flame or spark, as the
battery produces explosive,
flammable gas.
Never jump start (boost), charge,
or try to start a vehicle with a
frozen battery. Doing so can
result in an explosion.
Rotating parts of the engine can
cause serious injury. Take extreme
care when working near rotating
parts of the engine.
Before attempting to start a
vehicle, make sure that the
Electric Parking Brake (EPB) is
applied, or suitably chock the
wheels. Make sure that Park (P) is
selected, for automatic
transmissions.
Suitable eye protection must be
worn when working in the area of
a battery.
During normal use, batteries emit
explosive gas sufficient to cause
severe explosions and capable of
causing serious injury - keep
sparks and naked lights away
from the battery.
Make sure there is no physical
contact between the donor and
disabled vehicles, other than the
jump leads.
Make sure that any battery or
starting aid is a 12 volt device.
Disconnect the jump leads before
operating any electrical equipment.
Note: Before connecting the jump leads
to the disabled vehicle's boost point
terminals, make sure that the donor
vehicle's boost point connections are
correct and that all electrical equipment
has been switched off.
