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 3-98)
• Sunroof (See page 3-100)
• Trip computer (See page 4-42)
• Compass (See page 4-54)
• Climate control system (See pages
4-66)

sonal injury.Lift with a battery
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.
Never touch these compo-
nents with the engine running

Failure to follow the above
warnings can result in serious
bodily injury or death.
