WARNING: Battery posts,
terminals, and related accessories
contain lead and lead compounds.
Wash your hands after handling.
If you need to connect the battery to
a charger, disconnect both cables to
prevent damaging your vehicle's
electrical system. Always disconnect
the negative (
－) cable first, and
reconnect it last.
On vehicles without navigation system
If your vehicle's battery is
disconnected, or goes dead, the time
setting is lost. To reset the time, see
page 193.
If your vehicle's battery is
disconnected, or goes dead, the
audio system may disable itself. The
next time you turn on the radio, you
will see
‘‘ENTER CODE’’ in the
frequency display. Use the preset
buttons to enter the code (see page
192).
The battery gives off explosive
hydrogen gas during normal
operation.
A spark or flame can cause the
battery to explode with enough
force to kill or seriously hurt
you.
Wear protective clothing and a
face shield, or have a skilled
technician do the battery
maintenance.
On vehicles with navigation system
The navigation system will also
disable itself. The next time you turn
on the ignition switch, the system
will require you to enter
‘‘ENTER
CODE ’’ before it can be used. Refer
to the navigation system manual.
