Routine Maintenance

BATTERY MAINTENANCE
A low maintenance battery is installed in the vehicle. Dependent upon climate conditions the electrolyte levels should be checked as follows:
- Temperate climates every three years.
- Hot climates every year.
- The exterior of the battery should be occasionally wiped clean to remove any dirt or grease.
- Periodically remove the battery cable terminals to clean and coat with petroleum jelly.
