Tips on battery care
! Your car's battery requires no mainte!
nance in normal vehicle operation
(DIN 43539/T2).
However, have the battery's charge sta!
tus and acid level checked at the start
of the cold season by a qualified spe!
cialist workshop, e.g. a smart center.
! The battery stoppers on the top must be
opened to check the acid level. Acid
must come up to MAX mark.
! If the car is used almost exclusively
for short trips, recharge the battery
approximately every three months.
This will preserve your vehicle's
startability and prolong the battery's
operating life.
! Disconnect the car's battery for ex!
tended periods of non!use and re!
charge approximately every six
months.
! If the car is left for extended periods
of time (three to four weeks) with the
battery still connected, it must be re!
charged.
