G030882
Two types of battery may be used and are fully
interchangeableThe battery in your vehicle is located under the
floor of the cargo compartment.
Driving habits and conditions, climate, the
number of starts, etc. all affect the service life
and function of the battery. In order for your
battery to perform satisfactorily, keep the fol-
lowing in mind:

•
Check the fluid level in each cell in the bat-
tery every 24 months or every 15,000
1
miles (24,000 km), whichever is sooner.
The fluid should be at the level shown in the
illustration above (A)
2. Do not overfill.
•
Use a screw driver to open the caps or
cover and a flashlight to inspect the level.
•
If necessary, add distilled water. The level
should never be above the indicator (A)
2.
•
The fluid level should be checked if the
battery has been recharged.
•
After inspection, be sure the cap over each
battery cell or cover is securely in place.
•
Check that the battery cables are correctly
connected and properly tightened. Route
ventilation hose through opening in floor
(see one of the illustrations in "Replacing
the battery" on page 215).
•
Never disconnect the battery when the
engine is running, for example when
changing the battery.
•
The battery should be disconnected from
the vehicle when a battery charger is used
directly on the battery.
•
However, if the battery is being charged via
the connecting points in the engine com-
partment (see page 141), the battery must
be connected.WARNING
