BATTERY WARNING SYMBOLS

Do not allow any naked flames, or 
other sources of ignition near the 
battery as the battery may emit 

explosive gasses.

Ensure that when working near, or 
handling the battery, suitable eye 
protection is worn. This will reduce 

the risk of eye damage caused by acid 
splashes.

To prevent risk of injury, do not allow 
children near the battery.

Be aware that the battery may emit 
explosive gasses.

The battery contains acid which is 
extremely corrosive, and toxic.

BATTERY CARE

WARNINGS

Do not allow the battery electrolyte 
(fluid) come into contact with your skin 

or eyes. It is both corrosive and toxic, and the 
resulting injuries can be severe. If any 
electrolyte does come into contact with your 
skin or eyes, immediately rinse the affected 
area with clean, cold water. Immediate medical 
advice will be required.

If battery electrolyte comes into contact 
with your skin and/or clothes you 

should remove the affected clothing and flush 
the skin with copious amounts of water. Seek 
medical assistance immediately.

If battery electrolyte comes into contact 
with your eyes, flush with copious 

amounts of clean cold water. Seek medical 
assistance immediately, and continue to flush 
with water.

If swallowed, battery electrolyte can be 
fatal. If electrolyte is swallowed seek 

medical assistance immediately.

Do not connect any 12 volt equipment 
directly to the battery terminals. Doing 

so may cause a spark, which can result in an 
explosion.

The cell plugs and vent pipe must be in 
place at all times when the battery is 

connected to the vehicle. Ensure that the vent 
pipe is clear of obstructions and not kinked. 
Failure to do so may cause a pressure build up 
in the battery, resulting in an explosion.

Do not expose the battery to a naked 
flame or spark as the battery produces 

explosive, flammable gas.

Never jump start (boost) or charge, a 
frozen battery. Doing so can result in an 

explosion.

Vehicle battery

L

Your vehicle is fitted with a low maintenance 
battery.

In hot climates more frequent checks of the 
battery electrolyte level and condition are 
required. If necessary, the battery cells can be 
topped up using distilled water.

1. Press the clips to release the back of the 

cover.

2. Slide the cover forward, and lift it off.

3. Disconnect the vent tube.

4. Prise up the inner cover using a screw 

driver blade or similar blunt implement. 
Run the screwdriver forward to release the 
inner cover edge.

5. Slide the inner cover out under the battery 

cable.

Remove all metal jewellery before 
working on, or near, the battery, and 

never allow metal tools or vehicle components 
to come into contact with the battery 
terminals. Metal objects can cause sparks, 
and/or short circuits, resulting in an explosion.

Do not allow the battery posts or 
terminals to come into contact with 

your skin. They contain lead, and lead 
compounds which are toxic. Always wash 
your hands thoroughly after handling the 
battery.

CAUTION

Do not allow battery electrolyte to come 
into contact with fabrics or painted 

surfaces. If battery electrolyte comes into 
contact with any surface, the surface should 
be washed down immediately with copious 
amounts of clean water. Battery electrolyte is 
both corrosive and toxic, and can damage a 
wide range of materials if left.

USING BOOSTER CABLES

Note: Before connecting booster cables ensure 
that the battery connections on the disabled 
vehicle are correct, and that all electrical 
equipment has been switched off.

1. Connect one end of the positive booster 

cable to the positive terminal on the donor 
vehicle's battery.

2. Connect the other end of the positive 

booster cable to the positive terminal on 
the disabled vehicle's battery.

3. Connect one end of the negative booster 

cable to the negative terminal on the donor 
vehicle's battery.

4. Connect the other end of the negative 

booster cable to a suitable earth point on 
the disabled vehicle. The earth point 
should be at least 0.5 metres (20 inches) 
away from the battery, and as far as 
possible from any fuel or brake pipes.
• Check that all cables are clear of any 

moving components, and that all four 
connections are secure.

5. Start the engine of the donor vehicle, and 

allow it to idle for a few minutes.

6. Start the engine of the disabled vehicle.

7. Allow both vehicles to idle for two minutes.

8. Switch off the donor vehicle.

Disconnecting the cables

Note: Do not switch any electrical equipment 
on until after the cables have been 
disconnected.

The engine should be running on the 
previously disabled vehicle, and the engine 
switched off on the donor vehicle. Disconnect 
the booster cables in the exact reverse order of 
that used for connection.

WARNING

To avoid serious injury use extreme 
caution when removing the booster 

cables as the engine will be running on the 
previously disabled vehicle. This means that 
you will be working close to components 
which are moving at high speed, carry high 
voltage, or may be hot.
