Battery
The service life of the battery is
dependent on its condition of charge.
The battery should always be kept
sufficiently charged, in order to last an
optimum length of time.
While the engine is running the battery
terminal clamps must not be loosened
or detached, otherwise the generator
and other electronic components would
be damaged.
Warning!
Failure to follow these
instructions can result in severe
injury or death. Never lean
over batteries while connecting,
you might get injured.
Therefore, we strongly recommend
that you have the battery charge
checked frequently, and corrected if
necessary, especially if you use the
vehicle less than approximately 200
miles (300 km) per month mostly for
short distance trips, or if it is not used
for long periods of time.
Note:
After reconnecting the battery also
resynchronize the Express feature of
the power windows and the Adaptive
Damping System (ADS) (see Power
Windows and ADS in Index).
Battery fluid contains sulfuric acid.
Do not allow this fluid to come in
contact with eyes, skin or clothing.
In case it does, immediately flush
affected area with water and seek
medical help if necessary.
Battery Recycling
Only charge a battery with a battery
charger after the battery has been
disconnected from the vehicle
electrical circuit.
Batteries contain materials that can
harm the environment with improper
disposal.
A battery will also produce
hydrogen gas, which is flammable
and explosive. Keep flames or sparks
away from battery, avoid improper
connection of jumper cables,
smoking etc..
Always disconnect the battery negative
lead first and connect last.
Large 12 Volt storage batteries contain
lead.
When removing and connecting the
battery, always make sure that all
electrical consumers are off and the
key is in steering lock position 0. The
battery and its vent tube must always
be securely installed when the car is in
operation.
Recycling of batteries is the preferred
method of disposal.
The maintenance-free battery is located
in the trunk under the right-hand wheel
well cover panel.
Many states require sellers of batteries
to accept old batteries for recycling.
