MAINTENANCE
Battery
Improperly connecting or disconnecting battery cables can result in an explosion
and cause serious injury or death. When removing the battery, always
disconnect the negative (black) cable first. When reinstalling the battery, always
connect the negative (black) cable last.
Your vehicle has a sealed battery, which requires little maintenance.
Always keep battery terminals and connections free of corrosion. If
cleaning is necessary, remove the corrosion with a stiff wire brush.
Wash with a solution of one tablespoon baking soda and one cup water.
Rinse well with tap water and dry off with clean shop towels. Coat the
terminals with dielectric grease or petroleum jelly.
