Maintenance-Free Battery
Your vehicle is equipped with a mainte
-
nance-free battery. You will never have to
add water, nor is periodic maintenance
required.
Pressure Washing
WARNING!
Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution
and can burn or even blind you. Do not
allow battery fluid to contact your eyes,
skin, or clothing. Do not lean over a
battery when attaching clamps. If acid
splashes in eyes or on skin, flush the
area immediately with large amounts of
water. Refer to “Jump Starting Proce-
dure” in “In Case Of Emergency” for
further information.
Battery gas is flammable and explosive.
Keep flame or sparks away from the
battery. Do not use a booster battery or
any other booster source with an output
greater than 12 Volts. Do not allow cable
clamps to touch each other.
Battery posts, terminals, and related
accessories contain lead and lead
compounds. Wash hands after handling.
Vehicles with the Stop/Start system will be
equipped with two batteries. Bot the main
and the supplemental batteries must be
disconnected to completely de-energize the
12 volt electrical system.
Serious injury or death could result if you
do not disconnect both batteries. To
learn how to properly disconnect, see
your authorized dealer.
CAUTION!
It is essential when replacing the cables
on the battery that the positive cable is
attached to the positive post and the
negative cable is attached to the nega-
tive post. Battery posts are marked posi -
tive (+) and negative (-) and are
identified on the battery case. Cable
clamps should be tight on the terminal
posts and free of corrosion.
If a “fast charger” is used while the battery is
in the vehicle, disconnect both vehicle
battery cables before connecting the charger
to the battery. Do not use a “fast charger” to
provide starting voltage.
WARNING! (Continued)
Vehicles with the Stop/Start system will
be equipped with two batteries. Both the
main and the supplemental batteries
must be disconnected to completely
de-energize the 12 volt electrical
system.
If the negative battery cables are not
isolated properly it can cause a potential
power spike or surge in the system,
resulting in damage to essential elec-
trical components.
CAUTION!
Cleaning the engine compartment with a
high pressure washer is not recommended.
Precautions have been taken to safeguard
all parts and connections however, the
pressures generated by these machines is
such that complete protection against
water ingress cannot be guaranteed.
