CAUTION
BATTERY PRECAUTIONS
The battery produces flammable and

tery with tools.
Do not smoke or light a match near
the battery.
The electrolyte contains poisonous
and corrosive sulfuric acid.
Avoid contact with eyes, skin or

Never ingest electrolyte.
Wear protective safety glasses when
working near the battery.
Keep children away from the bat-
tery.
EMERGENCY MEASURES
If electrolyte gets in your eyes,
flush your eyes with clean water
immediately and get immediate
medical attention. If possible, con-
tinue to apply water with a sponge
or cloth while en route to the medi-
cal office.
If electrolyte gets on your skin,
thoroughly wash the contact area. If
you feel pain or burning, get medi-

NOTICE
Be sure the engine and all accesso-
ries are off before performing main-
tenance.
 When checking the battery, remove
the ground cable from the negative
terminal (“” mark) first and rein-
stall it last.
 Be careful not to cause a short cir-
cuit with tools.
 Take care no solution gets into the
battery when washing it.
If the battery is disconnected or run
down, the power window, power back win-
dow and moon roof may not operate auto-
matically, the jam protection function will
not function correctly, and the back door
will not open after you reconnect, replace
or recharge the battery. In any of these
cases, you should normalize the power
window, power back window, back door
and moon roof. To normalize them, see
“Power windows” on page 27, “Power back
window” on page 30, “Back door” on page
32 and “Electric moon roof” on page 39
