Notes On Removing And Installing The Battery

Information 

• The battery is located in the footwell on the passenger's side. 
• All electrical loads must be switched off beforehand! 
• Never disconnect battery with engine running! 
• Never start engine without a securely connected battery! 
• To prevent damage to the battery, the battery terminal clamps should only be attached by hand - without excessive force. 
• Check that the battery is seated correctly after installation. A loose battery presents other dangers, such as: - Reduced service life due to vibration damage. - Noises. - Damage to the battery housing from mounting parts. - Inadequate crash safety. 

Information 

• State-of-the-art batteries have central venting. 
• In certain battery states, the gas produced during charging can emerge centrally through an opening on the upper cover side. Backfire protection is integrated at the same position and prevents the combustible gas in the battery from igniting. 
• On batteries with a venting hose, check that the venting hose is not disconnected or pinched. Only then can the battery be freely vented. 
• Make sure that the venting hose is not kinked or damaged. If in doubt, replace them. 
• The venting hose must be inserted in the battery and in the battery box.
