During starting assistance or battery charging,
battery gas can be released. #
Always allow a battery tothaw before
ch arging it or per form ing starting assis-
ta nce. If
th ewa rning/indicator lamps do not light up in
th e inst rument cluster at temp eratures around or
below freezing, it is highly probable that the dis-
ch arge d battery has frozen. In
this case, obser vethefo llowing points:
R Do not give theve hicle starting assis tance or
ch arge the batter y.
R The service life of a bat tery that has been
