bleached, there is the possibility of them
becoming weakened and as a result, they
may not function at their full capacity
which could cause serious injury or death.
NOTE
Clean seat belts diligently if they get dirty.
Leaving them uncleaned will make it
difficult to clean them later, and it may
affect the smooth retracting of the seat
belt.

To ensure safe and correct handling of the ba ttery, read the following precautions carefully
before using the battery or inspecting it.
 Do not allow the positive () terminal to contact any other metal object that could
cause sparks:
Flames and sparks near open battery cells a re dangerous. Hydrogen gas, produced during
normal battery operation, could ignite and cause the battery to explode. An exploding battery
can cause serious burns and injuries. When wor king near a battery, do not allow metal tools
to contact the positive (
) or negative () terminal of the battery.
 Keep all flames, including cigarettes, and sparks away from open battery cells:
Flames and sparks near open battery cells a re dangerous. Hydrogen gas, produced during

can cause serious burns and injuries.
Do not jump-start a frozen battery or one with a low fluid level:
Jump-starting a frozen battery or one with a low fluid level is dangerous. It may rupture or
explode, causing serious injury.
Connect the negative lead to a good ground point away from the battery:
Connecting the end of the second jumper lead to the negative (
) terminal of the discharged
battery is dangerous.
A spark could cause the gas around the  battery to explode and injure someone.
Route the jumper leads away from parts that will be moving:
