Battery Recharging
By battery charger
Your vehicle has a maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery.
• If the battery becomes discharged over a short time (because, for example, the
headlights or interior lights were left on
while the vehicle was not in use),
recharge it by slow charging (trickle) for
10 hours.
• If the battery gradually discharges because of high electrical load while the vehicle is being used, recharge it at
20-30 A for two hours.
WARNING Always follow these instructions when
recharging your vehicle’s battery to avoid
the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH
from explosions or acid burns:
• Before performing maintenance or
recharging the battery, turn off all
accessories and stop the vehicle.
• Keep all flames, sparks, or smoking materials away from the battery.
• Always work outdoors or in an area with plenty of ventilation.
• Wear eye protection when checking the battery during charging.
• The battery must be removed from the vehicle and placed in a well ventilated
area.
• Watch the battery during charging, and stop or reduce the charging rate if the
battery cells begin boiling violently.
• Remove the negative battery cable first and install it last when the battery is
disconnected. Disconnect the battery
charger in the following order:
1. Turn off the battery charger main switch.
2. Unhook the negative clamp from the negative battery terminal.
3. Unhook the positive clamp from the positive battery terminal.

before it is shutoff. The vehicle may not
restart if you shut it off before the battery
had a chance to adequately recharge. For
more information, refer to the
“JumpStarting” section in chapter 8 for
more information on jump starting
