certain environments can lead to corrosion:
salt, chloride compounds used for snow
removal and highly alkaline materials. Wash
corrosives elements off the wheel before they
have time to react.

maintenance-free battery. When the original
equipment battery is replaced under warranty, it

vent caps for checking the electrolyte level and
for adding water, if necessary. The electrolyte
level should be checked at least every 24 months
or 24,000 miles (40,000 km) in temperatures up
to 90ÊF (32ÊC) andmore often in temperatures
above90ÊF (32ÊC).Keep the electrolyte level in
each cell up to the level indicator. Do not
overfill.

If the level gets low, you can add tap water to
the battery, provided the water isn't hard or
doesn't have a high mineral or alkali content.
However, if possible you should refill the battery
