Battery
If the terminals are severely cor-
roded, clean them with baking soda
and water. Then use a wrench to
loosen and remove the cables from
the terminals. Always disconnect the
negative ( — ) cable first and recon-
nect it last. Clean the battery termi-
nals with a terminal cleaning tool or
wire brush. Reconnect and tighten
the cables, then coat the terminals
with grease.
If you need to connect the battery to
a charger, disconnect both cables to
prevent damage to the vehicle's
electrical system.
On EX model
If your vehicle's battery is
disconnected or goes dead, the audio

Charging the battery with the cables
connected can seriously damage your
vehicle's electronic controls. Detach
the battery cables before connecting
the battery to a charger.
