ACTION WHEN BATTERY RUNS OUT
When the engine is started using a booster cable where the
battery has completely run down and you attempt to start
the vehicle without waiting for the battery to recover a certain
charge, the engine can misfire and you just cannot start to
move it. In such cases, charge the battery sufficiently; or,
remove the AYC battery cable from the battery fuse assembly
to make AYC inactive before attempting to start the vehicles.
When the battery cable is removed, the ACD mode indicator
lamp lights up. After the battery has been recharged, fit the
battery cable back again and start the engine to ensure that
the ACD mode indicator lamp is off.
