Starter battery - general
The starter battery is used to drive the starter
motor and other electrical equipment in the car.
The car's traditional 12 V battery is here called
"starter battery" even if the hybrid battery
(p. 384) is often used for starting the internal
combustion engine.
The service life and function of the starter battery
is influenced by factors such as the number of
starts, discharging, driving style, driving condi-
tions, climatic conditions, etc.
•
Never disconnect the battery when the
engine is running.
•
Check that the cables to the battery are cor-
rectly connected and properly tightened.

IMPORTANT
If the starter battery is replaced, make sure
you replace it with a battery with the same
cold starting capacity and type as the original
battery (see the label on the battery).
NOTE
The starter battery's container size should be
consistent with the original battery's dimen-
sions.
WARNING
•
The battery can generate oxyhydrogen
gas, which is highly explosive. A spark can
be formed if a jump lead is connected
incorrectly, and this can be enough for
the battery to explode.
•
Do not connect the jump leads to any
fuel system component or any moving
part. Be careful of hot engine parts.
•
The battery contains sulphuric acid, which
can cause serious burns.
•
If sulphuric acid comes into contact with
eyes, skin or clothing, flush with large
quantities of water. If acid splashes into
the eyes - seek medical attention imme-
diately.
•
Never smoke near the battery.
