Battery MaintenanceFor best battery service:
Keep the battery securely mounted.
Keep the battery top clean and dry.
Keep the terminals and connections clean, tight, and
coated with petroleum jelly or terminal grease.
Immediately rinse any spilled electrolyte from the
battery with a solution of water and baking soda.
If the vehicle is not going to be used for an extended
period of time, disconnect the battery cables.Maintenance7-32Battery Recharging
Your vehicle has a maintenance-free, calcium-based
battery.
If the battery becomes discharged in a short time
(headlights or interior lights were left on while the
vehicle was not in use), recharge it by slow (trickle)
charging for 10 hours.
If the battery gradually discharges because of high
electric load while the vehicle is being used,
recharge it at 20-30A for two hours.
