Battery – handling
The battery's service life is affected by the
number of starts, if it has been discharged,
driving style, driving conditions, weather con-
ditions ,etc.
Handling
•
Check that the battery cables are cor-
rectly connected and tightened.
•
Never disconnect the battery when the
engine is running (for example, when
replacing the battery).
•
If the battery is fully discharged a number
of times, this may shorten its service life.
•
The service life of a battery is affected by
factors such as the number of starts, driv-
ing conditions and climate. Extreme cold
may also further decrease the battery’s
starting capacity.
•
Because the battery’s starting capacity
decreases with time, it may be necessary
to recharge it if the vehicle is not driven
for an extended period of time or if the
vehicle is usually only driven short dis-
tances.
•
Never use a quick charger to charge the
battery. Only traditional types of battery
chargers should be used.
