petroleum jelly or terminal grease.
spillage over the battery with bak-
ing soda dissolved in water.
Make sure that the clear vent hose
is connected between the battery
nipple at the back and the vehicle
body vent nipple. This ensures the
exit of the battery vapors, not
remaining inside the trunk, when
vaporizing.

- Battery dangers
Always carefully follow
the below instructions,
when handling a battery.
Keep cigarettes lits, sparks, or all other
flames away from the
battery.
Hydrogen, which is high- ly combustible, always
exists inside the battery,
and may explode upon
being ignited.
Keep the battery out of the reach of children, as
it contains highly corro-
sive SULFURIC ACID. Do
not allow the battery
acid to contact your
skin, eyes, clothes or the
vehicle paint.
When electrolyte getsinto your eyes, immedi-
ately flush your eyes
with clean water for at
least 15 minutes and get
medical attention. When
electrolyte gets on your
skin, thoroughly wash
the contacted area. When
you feel pain or burning
sensation, immediately
get medical attention.

WARNING

To assure the proper engine and powertrain performance and durability, use
only lubricants of the proper quality.
The proper lubricants also promote engine efficiency, leading to a better fuel
economy.
These lubricants and fluids are recommended for use in your vehicle.
*1Refer to the recommended SAE viscosity numbers on the next page.

2Engine oils, labeled as Energy Conserving Oil, are now available. Along with other
additional benefits, they contribute to fuel economy by reducing the amount of fuel
necessary to overcome engine friction. Often, these improvements are difficult to
measure in everyday driving, but in a year’s time, they significantly reduce costs and
deliver energy savings.
*
3When the API service SM engine oil is not available in your country, you are able to use API service SL.

Recommended SAE viscosity number
Always be sure to clean the filler-plug area, drain plug, or dipstick before
checking or draining any lubricant. This is especially important in dusty
or sandy areas or after driving on an unpaved road. The practice to
maintain the plug and dipstick areas clean prevents dirt and grit from
entering the engine or the other mechanisms, which may be damaged.
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) effects the fuel economy and the driving in a
cold weather (engine start and engine oil flow). Engine oils of the lower vis-
cosity improves the fuel economy and driving performance in a cold weather.
However, engine oil of the higher viscosity are required for sufficient lubrica-
tion in a hot weather.
Using oils out of the recommended viscosity may damage the engine. When
choosing an oil, consider the range of temperature, in which your vehicle
drives. Find the recommended oil viscosity from the chart.

1. For the better fuel economy, it is recommended to use the engine oil
of a viscosity grade SAE 5W-20 (API Service SM / ILSAC GF-4).
However, when this engine oil is unavailable in your country, select
a proper engine, using the engine oil viscosity chart.
