Check the terminals for corrosion (a

remove it, cover the terminals with a

water. Dry off the battery with a
cloth or paper towel. Coat the
terminals with grease to help prevent
further corrosion.
If additional battery maintenance is
needed, see your Acura dealer or a
qualified technician.

If you need to connect the battery to
a charger, disconnect both cables to
