posed   battery    can   be
harmful  to   the  environ-
ment and  human health.
Dispose      the     battery
according  to  your  local
law(s) or regulation.
•  If the battery  becomes discharged
in a short time (because, for exam-
ple, the headlights or interior  lights
were left  on while the  vehicle was
not  in  use),  recharge  it   by  slow
charging (trickle) for 10 hours.
When  lifting   a  plastic-cased
battery, excessive pressure on
the  case  may   cause  battery
acid  to leak,  resulting in  per-
sonal injury. Lift with a battery
carrier or  with your  hands on
opposite corners.
Never attempt to  recharge the
battery    when     the    battery
cables are connected.
The electrical  ignition system
works    with    high    voltage.
Never   touch   these   compo-
nents with the engine  running
or the ignition switched on.
Failure   to    follow   the   above
warnings  can result  in  serious
bodily injury or death.
If the  battery gradually discharges
because of high electric load  while
the vehicle is being used, recharge
it at 20-30A for two hours.
