NOTE:
The terminals must be firmly
tightened. Before cleaning the
terminals, make sure the caps
are installed securely to prevent
foreign matter from entering the
battery.
Fluid Quantity
The fluid level should be between
the "UPPER" and "LOWER" level
lines. If the level is low, add dis鄄
tilled water up to the "UPPER" line.
If your battery has no level line, the
fluid level should be between 10
and 15mm above the plates.
If the level is low, add distilled wa鄄
ter until it is 15mm above the
plates.
Specific gravity
Measure the specific gravity. If it is
less than 1.220 (at a fluid temper鄄
ature of 20益 ), recharge the bat鄄
tery.
REPLACEMENT OF FUSE
If the electrical system is out of or鄄

NOTE:
If your battery has only one lev鄄

LOWER" level (lowest).
NOTE:
After addition of water, be sure
to charge the battery (by oper鄄
ating the vehicle), because oth鄄
erwise the fluid could be frozen
in winter.
NOTE:
The standard specific gravity of
battery is 1.260 to 1.270 (at a
fluid temperature of 20益).
VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS

der, open the cover and check for
a blown fuse in the following se鄄
quence.
1. Open the cover.
2. Remove the circuit checker from
the reverse side of the cover.
3. Insert the female terminal of the
circuit checker into "CHECKER"
ground terminal and touch the
male terminal to the fuse top sur鄄

5. Replace the defective fuse.
REPLACING LIGHT BULBS
Before attempting to replace a light
bulb, be sure the switch is turned to
the "OFF" position and place the ig鄄
nition switch in the "LOCK" position.
Be sure to replace the burned-out
bulb with one of the same number
and wattage rating.
CAUTION:
荫 Use of a fuse out of specifi鄄
cation or wire could be dan鄄
gerous. Be sure not to use a
substitute fuse. Make sure that
a blown fuse is replaced with a
genuine fuse. If a defective
point cannot be located, have
inspection made at your near鄄
est service shop.
荫 Do not pour water over the
