Battery
Your vehicle has two or more maintenance free
batteries. When it is time for a new battery, see your
dealer/retailer for one that has the replacement number
shown on the original battery’s label.
Warning: Battery posts, terminals, and related
accessories contain lead and lead compounds,
chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands after
handling.
Vehicle Storage
{CAUTION:
Batteries have acid that can burn you and gas
that can explode. You can be badly hurt if you
are not careful. See Jump Starting on
page 5-67 for tips on working around a battery
without getting hurt.
Infrequent Usage: If you drive your vehicle infrequently,
remove the black, negative (−) cable from each battery.
This will help keep the batteries from running down.
Extended Storage: For extended storage of your vehicle,
remove the black, negative (−) cable from each battery
or use a battery trickle charger. This will help maintain
the charge of the batteries over an extended period
of time.
When you are ready to use the vehicle again, refer to
the engine starting procedure in the Index.
