nStarting the engine when the battery is discharged
The engine cannot be started by push-starting.
n To prevent battery discharge
lTurn off the headlights and the audio system while the engine is off.
l Turn off any unnecessary electrical components when the vehicle is running
at a low speed for an extended period, such as in heavy traffic.
n Charging the battery
The electricity stored in the battery will discharge gradually even when the
vehicle is not in use, due to natural discharge and the draining effects of cer-
tain electrical appliances. If the vehicle is left for a long time, the battery may
discharge, and the engine may be unable to start. (The battery recharges
automatically during driving.)
n When recharging or replacing the battery
lVehicles with a smart key system: In some cases, it may not be possible to
unlock the doors using the smart key system when the battery is dis-
charged. Use the wireless remote control or the mechanical key to lock or
unlock the doors.
l The engine may not start on the first attempt after the battery has recharged
but will start normally after the second attempt. This is not a malfunction.
l Vehicles with a smart key system: The engine switch mode is memorized by
the vehicle. When the battery is reconnected, the system will return to the
mode it was in before the battery was discharged. Before disconnecting the
battery, turn the engine switch off.
If you are unsure what mode the engine switch was in before the battery dis-
charged, be especially careful when reconnecting the battery.
l Make sure that the key is not inside the vehicle when recharging or replac-
ing the battery. The key may be locked in the vehicle if the alarm is acti-
vated. ( P. 69)

CAUTION
nAvoiding battery fires or explosions
Observe the following precautions to prevent accidentally igniting the flam-
mable gas that may be emitted from the battery:
lMake sure each jumper cable is connected to the correct terminal and that
it is not unintentionally in contact with any other than the intended terminal.
l Do not allow the other end of the jumper cable connected to the “+” termi-
nal to come into contact with any other parts or metal surfaces in the area,
such as brackets or unpainted metal.
l Do not allow the + and - clamps of the jumper cables to come into contact
with each other.
l Do not smoke, use matches, cigarette lighters or allow open flame near
the battery.
n Battery precautions
The battery contains poisonous and corrosive acidic electrolyte, while
related parts contain lead and lead compounds. Observe the following pre-
cautions when handling the battery:
lWhen working with the battery, always wear safety glasses and take care
not to allow any battery fluids (acid) to come into contact with skin, clothing
or the vehicle body.
l Do not lean over the battery.
l In the event that battery fluid comes into contact with the skin or eyes,
immediately wash the affected area with water and seek medical attention.
Place a wet sponge or cloth over the affected area until medical attention
can be received.
l Always wash your hands after handling the battery support, terminals, and
other battery-related parts.
l Do not allow children near the battery.
NOTICE
nWhen handling jumper cables
When connecting the jumper cables, ensure that they do not become entan-
gled in the cooling fan or engine drive belt.
