Do not disconnect the vehicle battery when the ignition is on or when the
engine is running, as the electrical system (electronic components) could
otherwise be damaged.
In order to protect the casing from UV radiation, do not expose vehicle
battery to direct sunlight.
K
Location
The battery is in the engine compartment.
To start with the help of another battery
⇒"Emergency starting"
chapter.
K
Checking acid level
Please refer to the warning notes in the chapter "Engine
compartment" before starting any type of work on the engine or
the engine compartment.
The acid/electrolyte level should be checked regularly in the
following cases:
– high mileage
– in countries with a warm climate
– old battery
The battery is otherwise service-free.
The acid level should always be around the
m ma
ax
x.
.mark on the
longside of the battery. It should never be filled above the
m ma
ax
x.
.
mark nor be allowed to drop below the m
mi
in
n.
.mark.
We recommend that the electrolyte level be checked and corrected
by a Technical Service Centre.

the charge condition or the acid level of the battery.
Air bubbles can distort the true color. You should, therefore, tap
carefully on the magic eye.
