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.

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.

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.

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.

Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and

lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.

Because your vehicle’s engine is electronically controlled by a computer,

some control conditions are maintained by power from the battery. When

the battery is disconnected or a new battery is installed, the engine must

relearn its idle and fuel trim strategy for optimum driveability and

performance. To begin this process:

1. With the vehicle at a complete stop, set the parking brake.

2. Put the gearshift lever in P (Park), turn off all accessories and start

the engine.

3. Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature.

4. Allow the engine to idle for at least one minute.

5. Turn the A/C on and allow the engine to idle for at least one minute.

6. Drive the vehicle to complete the relearning process.
