IMPORTANT
1)If the engine is stopped while driving, the
brake servomechanism will cease to
function and braking efficiency will
deteriorate. Also, the power steering
system will not function and it will require
greater manual effort to operate the

WARNING
325)Keep sparks, cigarettes, and flames
away from the battery because the battery
could explode.
326)The battery electrolyte is extremely
caustic. Do not allow it to come in contact
with your eyes, skin, clothing, or the
painted surfaces of the vehicle. Spilt
electrolyte should be flushed immediately
with ample amounts of water. Irritation to
eyes or skin from contact with electrolyte
requires immediate medical attention.
327)Ventilate when charging or using the
battery in an enclosed space.
328)Always wear protective eye goggles
when working near the battery.
329)Keep it out of reach of children.
330)When you handle the battery, carefully
observe the following cautions for safety.
331)Keep sparks, cigarettes, and flames
away from the battery because the battery
could explode. Also, do not short-circuit
the battery terminals. Doing so could
create sparks.
332)Always wear protective eye goggles
when working near the battery. Battery
electrolyte contains sulphuric acid, so
getting it in your eyes is dangerous.
333)Battery electrolyte contains sulphuric
acid, so you must wear gloves and eye
protection when handling the battery. If
battery electrolyte gets in your eyes or on
your skin, rinse it away with clean water
and immediately see a doctor. If you
accidentally swallow battery electrolyte,
immediately see a doctor. If battery
electrolyte splashes on your clothing or on
the vehicle, rinse it off with lots of water.334)The battery emits highly explosive
hydrogen gas. Ventilate when charging the
battery in an enclosed space.
335)Using the battery with insufficient fluid
irreparably damages the battery and may
cause an explosion.
IMPORTANT
155)Do not bring the nearby parts, the
plastic parts and so on into contact with
sulphuric acid (battery electrolyte) which
may crack, stain or discolour them. If they
are in contact, wipe off with soft cloth,
chamois or the like and an aqueous
solution of neutral detergent then
immediately rinse the affected parts with
plenty of water.
156)If the vehicle must remain unused for
a long time at a very low temperature,
remove the battery and take it to a warm
place, to avoid freezing.
157)Never disconnect the battery when
the ignition switch or the operation mode is
in the “ON” position; doing so could
damage the vehicle’s electrical
components.
158)Never short-circuit the battery. This
could cause it to overheat and be
damaged.
159)If the battery is to be quick-charged,
first disconnect the battery cables.
