ecommended   that   the   battery   be   disconnected  
i

f   the   vehicle   is   taken   out   of   service   for   a   long

Having
  exposed   the   battery,   it   is   only  
n

ecessary   to   disconnect   the   (+)   terminal.
Following reconnection of the
battery
After reconnecting the battery, switch on the ignition   and   wait   1   minute   before   starting   to  
a

llow   initialisation   of   the   electronic   systems.
However,
  if   minor   problems   persist   following
