•	Never attempt to change the battery when the battery cables are connected.

•	The electrical ignition system works with high voltage. Never touch these components with the engine running or the ignition switched on.

Handling and Storing Battery

Battery Itself

•	Batteries should be stored in cool, dry (27°C / 80.6°F) places and out of direct sunlight.

•

MF batteries are tightly sealed to prevent acid leakage.

However, tilting the battery to an angle of 45º or over may cause acid leakage through the vents on the sides. Therefore, store batteries in the upright position. Prevent placing any aqueous or solid (i.e. conductors) bodies on top of the battery.

•	It is extremely dangerous to use tools, such as hammers, on the battery terminals when connecting cables to the mounted battery.

Battery on Vehicle

•	When storing the vehicle for a long period of time, make sure to remove the memory fuse at the junction box to prevent natural discharging.

•	If the vehicle has been stored for a long time with the battery fuses installed, run the engine to charge the battery within 1 month in storage. Also, even if the battery fuse has been removed, run the engine to charge the battery within 3 months in storage.

After reconnecting or recharging a discharged battery, the ESP OFF indicator may illuminate.

In this case, turn the handle half way to the left and right whilst the ignition switch is in the ON position.

Then, restart the engine after ignition OFF.

The ESP OFF indicator may turn OFF.

If the ESP OFF indicator does not turn OFF, have the system checked refering to DTC. (Refer to the BR group.)
