Battery maintenance
The battery in your vehicle is located under the
floor of the cargo compartment.
Driving habits and conditions, climate, the
number of starts, etc. all affect the service life
and function of the battery. In order for your
battery to perform satisfactorily, keep the fol-
lowing in mind:
•Use a screw driver to open the caps or
cover and a flashlight to inspect the level.
•If necessary, add distilled water. The level
should never be above the indicator.
•The fluid level should be checked if the
battery has been recharged.
•After inspection, be sure the cap over each
battery cell or the cover is securely in
place.
•Check that the battery cables are correctly
connected and properly tightened.
•Never disconnect the battery when the
engine is running, or when the key is in the
ignition. This could damage the vehicle's
electrical system.
•The battery should be disconnected from
the vehicle when a battery charger is used
directly on the battery.
•To help keep the battery in good condition,
the vehicle should be driven for at least 15minutes a week or connected to a charger
with an automatic charging function.
•If the battery is fully discharged a number
of times, this may shorten its service life.
Keeping the battery fully charged helps
prolong its service life.
•The service life of a battery is affected by
factors such as driving conditions and cli-
mate. Extreme cold may also further
decrease the battery’s starting capacity.
•Because the battery’s starting capacity
decreases with time, it may be necessary
to recharge it if the vehicle is not driven for
an extended period of time or if the vehicle
is usually only driven short distances.

WARNING
•Never expose the battery to open flame
or electric spark.
•Do not smoke near the battery.
•Battery fluid contains sulfuric acid. Do
not allow battery fluid to contact eyes,
skin, fabrics or painted surfaces. If con-

Rear headphone connectors and
controls *
G026982
The door panels behind the second row of
seats can be equipped with headphone con-
nectors for passengers in the second and third
row of seats. Several people can listen to dif-
ferent sound sources, such as CDs or the radio
at the same time without disturbing each other.
Two sets of headphones can be plugged into
each connector.1. With the audio system switched on, use
the SEL button to select a sound source.
2. Press the arrow keys briefly to change CD
tracks or switch between preset stations.
3. Hold down the arrow keys to fast forward/
reverse, or search for the previous/next
strong radio station.
4.
Hold down the SEL button to turn off the
sound.
NOTE
For the best sound reproduction, we rec-
ommend headphones with impedance
between 16 – 32 ohm. The sensitivity of
these should be equal to or greater than
102 dB. The headphone connections are
intended for 3.5 mm contacts and are
located under the lower edge of the socket.
All headphones are automatically turned off
when the ignition is switched off. They must be
manually restarted when the ignition is
switched on again.
Headphones – limitations
•The headphones will only work when the
ignition key is in position I or higher.
•If a set of headphones is connected to the
same source that is being sent through the
speakers, the headphone controls cannot
be used to change track or station. This isto prevent the driver from being distracted
by an unexpected change in music.
•If the driver selects the same sound source
as someone listening to this source
through headphones, the driver takes con-
trol of the sound source.
•Only one disc in the optional CD changer,
and one track on the CD can be played at
a time.
•Headphone users can choose from among
the preset radio stations (AM, FM1, FM2)
previously set by the driver.
•If FM is played in the speakers, AM is not
available and vice versa.
