tery,  excessive  pressure  on  the

your hands on opposite corners.
Your  vehicle   has  a   maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery.
When
recharging
the

are connected.

works  with  high  voltage.  Never
touch these components with the
engine  running   or   the  ignition
switched on.
If   the  battery   gradually   discharges
because of high electric load  while the
vehicle is being used, recharge it at 20-
•  Watch  the  battery during  charg-
ing, and stop or reduce the charg-
ing rate  if the battery  cells begin
gassing  (boiling)  violently   or  if
