Maintenance and Specifications
When lifting a  plastic-cased battery, excessive  pressure on the
end walls could  cause acid to  flow through the vent  caps,
resulting in personal  injury and/or damage  to the vehicle or  battery.
Lift the battery  with a battery  carrier or with your  hands on opposite
corners.
Keep batteries out  of reach of  children. Batteries contain sulfuric
acid. Avoid contact  with skin, eyes  or clothing. Shield your  eyes
when working near  the battery to  protect against possible splashing  of
acid solution. In  case of acid  contact with skin or  eyes, flush
immediately with water  for a minimum  of 15 minutes and  get prompt
medical attention. If  acid is swallowed,  call a physician immediately.
Battery posts, terminals  and related accessories  contain lead and
lead compounds.Washhandsafterhandling.
Because your vehicles  engine is electronically  controlled by a computer,
some control conditions  are maintained by  power from the battery.  When
the battery is  disconnected or a  new battery is installed,  the engine must
relearn its idle  and fuel trim  strategy for optimum driveability  and
performance. To begin  this process:
1.
With the vehicle  at a complete  stop, set the parking  brake.
2.
Put the gearshift  in P (Park),  turn off all accessories  and start the
engine.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Run the engine  until it reaches  normal operating temperature.
Allow the engine  to idle for  at least one minute.
Turn the A/C  on and allow  the engine to idle  for at least  one minute.
Release the parking  brake. With your  foot on the brake  pedal and with
the A/C on,  put the vehicle  in D (Drive) and  allow the engine  to idle for
at least one  minute.
7.
Drive the vehicle  to complete the  relearning process.
The vehicle may  need to be  driven 16 km (10  miles) or more  to
relearn the idle  and fuel trim  strategy.
