Battery recharging
Your vehicle has a maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery.
If the battery becomes discharged in
a short time (because, for example
the headlights or interior lights were
left on while vehicle was not in use)
jump start the vehicle from another
battery and run the engine at least
20 minutes at idle before driving. Do
not turn off the engine for 30 minutes
total of idle and/or driving as the bat-
tery may not have sufficient recharge
to start.CALIFORNIA PROPO-
