To lessen the risk of sparks,
remove rings, metal watchbands,
and other metal jewelry. Never
allow metal tools to contact the
positive battery terminal and any-
thing connected to it WHILE you
are at the same time in contact
with any other metallic portion of
the vehicle because a short cir-
cuit will result.
NOTE
To avoid battery drain, do not use
electric power (e.g., lights, wipers,
climate control, seat heaters, etc.) for
longer than necessary when the engine
is off. If using the radio, room lights or
other electrical equipment with the
engine off, even in the ignition switch
is in the “ACC” position, the battery will
drain.
