Battery Installation
1. Set the battery in its place.
2. It must be free from obstructions and securely installed. If not, battery gases could accumulate and cause an
explosion. Avoid skin contact with electrolyte, as severe burns could result.
3. Replace the tightened bar.
4. First, connect and tighten the red (positive) cable.
5. Second, connect and tighten the black (negative) cable.
6. Verify that cables are properly routed.
NOTE:
When installing a new battery, make sure it is fully charged prior to its initial use. Using a new battery that has not
been fully charged can damage the battery and result in a shorter life. It can also hinder vehicle performance.
Battery Storage
When the vehicle is placed in storage for three months or more, the battery should be removed, stored out of the sun
in a cool, dry place, and tested monthly. Before reusing, take the battery to a technical support center for testing and
recharging.
Traction battery charging while placed in storage is not affected by the lack of the auxiliary battery.
