concerning the battery. The battery is
completely maintenance-free; the fol-

on their respective allocation in the
glove compartment behind a panel with
two snap clips.

fuse or replace it with a fuse
having a different color or amperage
rating. To do this could cause a fire in
the vehicle resulting from a circuit over-
load.<
