Battery Storage
When the vehicle is placed in storage for three months or more, the
battery should be removed, stored out of the sun in a cool, dry place
and t ested monthly. Before reusing, take the battery to your dealer for
testing and recharging.
Power plug leads may need to be bent down so that the battery cover
can be installed.

A poorly maintained battery will
deteriorate rapidly. Check the battery
fluid level often. The fluid level should
be kept between the upper and lower

water contains minerals that are harmful
to a battery.

removing the battery, always disconnect the negative (black)
cable first. When reinstalling the battery, always connect the
negative (black) cable last.
