eyes from acid splashes.
Keep all flames, sparks,
or smoking materials

is highly combustible,
and may explode if ignit-
ed.
Keep batteries out of
reach of children.

diate medical attention. If acid
gets on your skin, thoroughly
wash the area. If you feel pain or
a burning sensation, get med-
ical attention immediately.
When lifting a plastic-cased
battery, excessive pressure
on the case may cause battery
acid to leak. Lift with a battery
carrier or with your hands on
opposite corners.

your vehicle if your battery is
frozen.

nents with the engine running
or when the Engine Start/Stop
button is in the ON position.
