Washer fluid - filling
Washer fluid is used for cleaning the head- lamps and windows. Washer fluid with anti-freeze must be used during winter.

Battery
The service life and function of the battery is influenced by factors such as the number ofstarts, discharging, driving style, driving con-ditions, climatic conditions etc. The starter battery is a traditional 12 V bat- tery.
• Never disconnect the battery when the engine is running.
• Check that the cables to the battery arecorrectly connected and properly tight-ened.
WARNING
•The battery can generate oxyhydrogen gas, which is highly explosive. A sparkcan be formed if a jump lead is con-nected incorrectly, and this can beenough for the battery to explode.
• The battery contains sulphuric acid,which can cause serious burns.
• If sulphuric acid comes into contactwith eyes, skin or clothing, flush withlarge quantities of water. If acidsplashes into the eyes - seek medicalattention immediately.
IMPORTANT
Only a traditional battery charger should ever be used when charging the battery.
