Vehicle batteryBATTERY WARNING SYMBOLS
BATTERY CARE
If battery electrolyte comes into
contact with your eyes, skin, or
clothes you should remove the
affected clothing and flush the
skin/eyes with copious amounts of
water. Seek medical assistance
immediately.
If swallowed, battery electrolyte can
be fatal, seek medical assistance
immediately.
Do not connect any 12 volt equipment
directly to the bat tery terminals.
Doing so may cause a spark, which
can result in an explosion. The cell plugs and vent pipe must be
in place at all tim
es when the battery
is connected to t he vehicle. Ensure
that the vent pipe is clear of
obstructions and not kinked. Failure to
do so may cause a pressure build up in
the battery, resulting in an explosion.
Do not expose the battery to a naked
flame or spark as the battery produces
explosive, flammable gas.
Never jump start (boost), charge, or
try to start a vehicle with a frozen
battery. Doing so can result in an
explosion.
Remove all metal jewellery before
working on, or near, the battery, and
never allow metal tools or vehicle
components to come into contact with
the battery terminals.
Do not allow the battery posts or
terminals to come into contact with
your skin. They contain lead and lead
compounds, which are toxic. Always
wash your hands thoroughly after
handling the battery.
Do not allow battery electrolyte to come
into contact with fabrics or painted
surfaces. If battery electrolyte comes
into contact with any surface, the
surface should be washed down
immediately with copious amounts of
clean water.
Vehicles may be fitted with either a single low
maintenance battery or dual maintenance free
batteries. Both types are located under the floor
of the luggage compartment.
If the vehicle is fitted with a single battery, in
hot climates more fre quent checks of the
battery electrolyte level and condition are
required. If necessary, the battery cells can be
topped up using distilled water.
Do not allow naked flames or other
sources of ignition near the
battery, as the battery may emit
explosive gases.
Ensure that when working near or
handling the battery, suitable eye
protection is worn, to protect the
eyes from acid splashes.
To prevent risk of injury, do not
allow children near the battery.
Be aware that the battery may emit
explosive gases.
The battery contains acid which is
extremely corrosive and toxic.
Consult the handbook for
information, before handling the
battery.
