VEHICLE BATTERY
WARNING
Do not operate the vehicle if the fluid in the bat-
tery is low. Low battery fluid can cause ahigher
load on the battery which can generate heat, re-
duce battery life, and in some cases lead to an
explosion.
Checking battery fluid level Check the fluid level in each cell. The battery fluid
level should be between the UPPER LEVEL
➀and
LOWER LEVEL ➁lines.
If it is necessary to add fluid, add only demineralised/
distilled water to bring the level to the indicator in
each filler opening. Do not overfill.
1. Remove the cell plugs ➂using
asuitable tool.
2. Add demineralised/distilled water up to the UP- PER LEVEL ➀line.
If the side of the battery is not clear, check the
distilled water level by looking directly above the
cell; the condition j
Ai ndicates OK and the con-
dition jBn eeds more to be added.
3. Replace and tighten the cell plugs.
• Vehicles operated in high temperatures or under
severe conditions require frequent checks of the
battery fluid level.
• Keep the battery surface clean and dry. Any cor-
rosion should be cleared with
afirmly wrung out
moist cloth.
• Make certain the terminal connections are clean
and securely tightened.
• If the vehicle is not to be used for more than 30
days, disconnect the negative (−) battery termi-
nal cable to prevent battery discharge.
Jump starting
If jump starting is necessary, see “Jump starting” in
the “6. In case of emergency” section. If the engine
does not start by jump starting or the battery does not charge, the battery may have to be replaced.
Contact an approved dealer or qualified workshop
for replacing the battery.

Recommended battery: CR2025 or equiva-
lent
• Do not touch the internal circuit and electric
terminals as doing so could cause
amalfunc-
tion.
• Make sure that the
%side faces the bottom

closed ➁.
5. Operate the buttons to check its operation.
See an approved dealer or qualified workshop if you
need assistance for replacement. WARNING
• Operating the engine with the air cleaner filter
off can cause you or others to be burned. The
air cleaner filter not only cleans the intake air,
it also stops flame if the engine backfires. If
the air cleaner filter is not installed and the engine backfires, you could be burned. Never
drive with the air cleaner filter off. Be cautious
working on the engine when the air cleaner
filter is off.
• Never pour fuel into the throttle body or at-
tempt to start the engine with the air cleaner
removed. Doing so could result in serious in-
jury.
To remove the filter, release the lock pins ➀and
pull the unit upward ➁. The dry paper type filter element may be cleaned
and reused. Replace the air filter according to the
maintenance schedule shown in
aseparate mainte-
nance booklet.
When replacing the filter, wipe the inside of the air
cleaner housing and the cover with adamp cloth. SDI2452Z JVM0451XZ

Replacing
Replace the wiper blades if they are worn.
1. Pull the wiper arm.
2. Push and hold the release tab j
A, and then move
the wiper blade down ➀the wiper arm to re-
move.
3. Remove the wiper blade.
4. Insert the new wiper blade onto the wiper arm until it clicks into place.
CAUTION
• After wiper blade replacement, return the
wiper arm to its original position. Otherwise
the wiper arm or the engine bonnet may be
scratched and may cause damage.
• Worn windscreen wiper blades can damage
the windscreen and impair driver vision. The variable voltage control system measures the
amount of electrical discharge from the battery and
controls voltage generated by the alternator.
CAUTION
• Do not ground accessories directly to the bat-
tery terminal. Doing so will bypass the vari-
able voltage control system and the vehicle
battery may not charge completely.
• Use electrical accessories with the engine
running to avoid discharging the vehicle bat-
tery. SDI2048Z

Extended storage fuse switch
(where fitted) To reduce battery drain, the extended storage fuse
switch comes from the factory switched off. Prior to
delivery of your vehicle, the switch is pushed in
(switched on) and should always remain on.
If the extended storage fuse switch is not pushed in
(switched on), the [Shipping Mode On Push Stor-
age Fuse] warning may appear in the vehicle infor-
mation display. See “Indicators for operation” in the
“2. Instruments and controls” section.
If any electrical equipment does not operate, re-
move the extended storage fuse switch and check for an open fuse.
NOTE
If the extended storage fuse switch malfunctions
or if the fuse is open, it is not necessary to re-
place the switch. In this case, remove the ex- tended storage fuse switch and replace it with a
new fuse of the same rating.
How to remove the extended storage fuse
switch:
1. To remove the extended storage fuse switch, be sure the ignition switch is in the OFF or LOCK
position.
2. Be sure the headlight switch is in the OFF posi- tion.

Fog may temporarily form inside the lens of the exte-
rior lights in the rain or in
acar wash. Atemperature
difference between the inside and the outside of the

large drops of water collect inside the lens, contact
an approved dealer or qualified workshop.

Replacing halogen headlight bulb
The halogen headlight is asemi-sealed beam type
which uses replaceable headlight (halogen) bulbs.
They can be replaced from inside the engine com-
partment without removing the headlight assembly.
CAUTION
High-pressure halogen gas is sealed inside the
bulb. The bulb may break if the glass envelope is
scratched or the bulb is dropped.

2. Disconnect the electrical connector from the
rear end of the bulb.
3. Pull off the rubber cap
➀.
4. Push and turn the retaining pin
➁to loosen it.
5. Remove the headlight bulb. Do not shake or
rotate the bulb when removing it.
6. Install the new bulb in the reverse order of
removal.
CAUTION
• When handling the bulb, do not touch the
glass envelope.
• Use the same number and wattage as origi-
nally installed:
Halogen headlight model
High/low beam bulb: 60W/55W (H4)
• Do not leave the bulb out of the headlight
reflector for
along period of time as dust, moisture and smoke may enter the headlight
body and affect the performance of the head-
light.
Aiming adjustment is not necessary if only the bulbs
are replaced. When aiming adjustment is neces-
sary, contact an approved dealer or qualified work-
shop.
