Battery and battery cooling
A new style battery is introduced for model year
2002. It is a sealed, maintenance-free battery.
The battery has a capacity of 70 Ah, and a cold
cranking rating of 700 CCA.
The battery has a level window to indicate
whether there is sufficient electrolyte (battery
fluid) in the battery. The window should normally
be dark/black when the level is sufficient. If it is
shiny like a mirror, the battery should be changed
as the level is too low.
The battery is enclosed in a battery cover to
reduce heating. An air duct allows air to pass
from an opening in the car's spoiler. The air from
the air duct passes through the battery cover and
cools the battery.
