If you see any corrosion on the battery or terminals, remove the cables

from the terminals and clean with a wire brush. You can neutralize the

acid with a solution of baking soda and water.

When the battery is disconnected or a new battery installed, the

transmission must learn its adaptive strategy. As a result of this, the

transmission may shift firmly. This operation is considered normal and

will fully update transmission operation to its optimum shift feel.

Note: Electrical or electronic accessories or components added to

the vehicle by the dealer or the owner may adversely affect

battery performance and durability.

It is recommended that the negative battery cable terminal be

disconnected from the battery if you plan to store your vehicle for an

extended period of time. This will minimize the discharge of your battery

during storage.

WARNING: Batteries normally produce explosive gases which

can cause personal injury. Therefore, do not allow flames, sparks

or lighted substances to come near the battery. When working near the

battery, always shield your face and protect your eyes. Always provide

proper ventilation.

WARNING: When lifting a plastic-cased battery, excessive

pressure on the end walls could cause acid to flow through the

vent caps, resulting in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or

battery. Lift the battery with a battery carrier or with your hands on

opposite corners.

WARNING: Keep batteries out of reach of children. Batteries

contain sulfuric acid. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing.

Shield your eyes when working near the battery to protect against

possible splashing of acid solution. In case of acid contact with skin or

eyes, flush immediately with water for a minimum of 15 minutes and

get prompt medical attention. If acid is swallowed, call a physician

immediately.

WARNING: Battery posts, terminals and related accessories

contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.
