■When recharging or replacing the 12-volt battery
●Make sure that the key is not inside the vehicle when recharging or replacing the
12-volt battery. The key may be locked in the vehicle if the alarm is activated.

charged, be especially careful when reconnecting the 12-volt battery.

come into contact with any other parts or metal surfaces in the area, such as
brackets or unpainted metal.
