CAUTION
Battery precautions
The battery contains poisonous and corrosive acidic electrolyte, while
related parts contain lead and lead compounds. Observe the following pre-
cautions when handling the battery.
When working with the battery, always wear safety glasses and take care
not to allow any battery fluids (acid) to come into contact with skin, clothing
or the vehicle body.
Do not lean over the battery.
In the event that battery fluid comes into contact with the skin or eyes,
immediately wash the affected area with water and seek medical attention.
Place a wet sponge or cloth over the affected area until medical attention
can be received.
Always wash your hands after handling the battery support, terminals, and
other battery-related parts.
Do not allow children near the battery.
To prevent damaging the vehicle
Do not pull- or push-start the vehicle, because the catalytic converter may
overheat and become a fire hazard.

When connecting the jumper cables, ensure that they do not become entan-
gled in the cooling fans or belt.
To prevent damage to the engine cover
When removing the cover, make sure that you pull the cover towards you
after lifting the front edge to remove the fixed pins.
When installing the cover, do not force the cover or subject it to strong
shocks.
