Taking Care of the Unexpected
199
If the Battery Is Low
If the battery is low, the starter motor doesn’t operate or works
poorly, and you can’t start the engine.
Jump starting your Honda SXS should be avoided.
Instead, the battery should be removed and recharged (page 164).
If you can’t charge the battery or it appears unable to hold a charge,
contact your dealer.
WARNING: Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain
lead and lead compounds. Wash your hands after handling.
However, when there is no option other than jump starting, follow
the instructions given below.
NOTICE
If a battery sits in extreme cold, the electrolyte inside can freeze.
Attempting to jump start with a frozen battery can cause it to
rupture.
Use a battery that is the same as the one in the vehicle or an
equivalent.

WARNING
The battery gives off explosive hydrogen gas
during normal operation.
A spark or flame can cause the battery to
explode with enough force to kill or seriously
hurt you.
Wear protective clothing and a face shield, or
have a skilled mechanic do the battery
maintenance.
