 If the vehicle is not going to be
used for an extended time, discon-
nect the battery cables.
Battery recharging Your vehicle has a maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery.
 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.
 If the battery gradually discharges
because of high electric load while
the vehicle is being used, recharge
it at 20-30A for two hours.Items to be reset after the battery
has been discharged or the bat-
tery has been disconnected. Clock (See page 3-100)

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.
