BATTERY CARE
WARNING
- If swallowed, battery electrolyte can be fatal. Seek medical assistance immediately.
- If battery electrolyte comes into contact with eyes, skin, or clothes, flush the skin and eyes with large amounts of clean water. Remove the affected clothing. Seek medical assistance immediately. Failing to do so may result in serious injury.
- Do not connect any 12V equipment directly to the battery terminals. Doing so may cause a spark, which can result in an explosion. A spark or an explosion may cause serious injury or death.
- The cell plugs and vent pipe must be in place at all times when the battery is connected to the vehicle. Make sure that the vent pipe is clear of obstructions and not kinked. Failure to do so may cause a pressure build-up in the battery, potentially resulting in an explosion. An explosion may cause serious injury or death.
- Do not expose the battery to an open flame or spark as the battery produces explosive, flammable gas. An open flame or sparks may cause a fire or explosion, resulting in serious injury or death.
- Never jump start (boost), charge, or try to start a vehicle with a frozen battery. Doing so can result in an explosion.
- To prevent the chance of an electric shock, remove all metal jewelry before working on, or near the battery. Never allow metal objects or vehicle components to come into contact with the battery terminals. Metal objects can cause sparks or short circuits potentially resulting in an explosion. A spark or an explosion may cause serious injury or death.
- Do not allow battery electrolyte to contact with skin or eyes. Battery electrolyte is both toxic and corrosive which can result in severe injuries. If battery electrolyte comes into contact with eyes, skin or clothes, remove the affected clothes. Flush the skin or eyes with plenty of water. Seek medical assistance immediately.
CAUTION
Do not allow battery electrolyte to come into contact with fabrics or painted surfaces. If battery electrolyte comes into contact with any surface, the surface should be washed down immediately with plenty of clean water. Failing to do so may result in damage to the affected surfaces.

CONNECTING JUMP LEADS
WARNING
- Remove all metal jewelry before working on, or near, a battery or boost terminals. Never allow metal objects or vehicle components to come into contact with the battery or boost terminals. Metal objects can cause sparks or short circuits, resulting in an explosion.
- Motor vehicles contain fuel, oils, and fluids, battery posts, terminals, and related accessories which contain lead and lead compounds and other chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm. These chemicals are found in vehicles, vehicle parts and accessories, both new and as replacements. When being serviced, these vehicles generate used oil, waste fluids, grease, fumes and particulates, all known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, and reproductive harm.
- Do not expose any battery to an open flame or spark, as the battery produces explosive, flammable gas. Open flames or sparks may cause a fire or explosion, resulting in serious injury or death.
- Never jump start (boost), charge, or try to start a vehicle with a frozen battery. Doing so can result in an explosion.
- Before attempting to start the vehicle, make sure that the Electric Parking Brake (EPB) is applied, or suitably chock the wheels. Make sure that Park (P) is selected. Failing to do so may result in unexpected movement of the vehicle, potentially causing death or serious injury.
- Suitable eye protection must be worn when working in the area of a battery. The battery contains acid, which, when coming into contact with eyes, may cause serious injury.
- During normal use, batteries emit explosive gas sufficient to cause severe explosions and capable of causing serious injury. Keep sparks and open flames away from the battery. Ignition sources may cause explosions, potentially resulting in serious injury or death.
- Do not disconnect the discharged battery. Disconnecting a discharged battery may cause an electric shock, resulting in injury.
CAUTION
Make sure there is no physical contact between the donor and disabled vehicles, other than the jump leads. The body of the vehicles can conduct electricity, which may cause an electric shock.

Disconnecting the battery can affect a number of vehicle systems, especially if there is insufficient battery power before disconnection. For example, the alarm may trigger, depending on its state when the battery is disconnected. If the alarm does sound, use the smart key to disarm the security system. The windows may need recalibrating to operate correctly. See WINDOW RESET.
NOTES
After reconnecting the battery, a number of systems may need to be reset.
After reconnecting the battery, a number of systems may need to be reset.
BATTERY MONITORING SYSTEM
The Intelligent Power System Management (IPSM) continuously monitors the condition of the 12V battery. If excessive battery discharge occurs, the system begins to shut down non-essential electrical systems in order to protect the battery.
If the IPSM calculates that the battery’s condition is not within the set parameters, the instrument panel displays a warning message. The message is displayed if the electric motor is not running. After 3 minutes, the IPSM begins shutting down the vehicle’s systems. Normal system operation resumes when the electric motor is started.
CAUTION
Only start the electric motor if it is safe to do so, in order to avoid damages to the vehicle’s systems.
Only start the electric motor if it is safe to do so, in order to avoid damages to the vehicle’s systems.
NOTES
If the instrument panel displays a warning message, drive the vehicle to allow the battery to recover to an acceptable level. Drive the vehicle for at least 30 minutes in temperatures above 32°F (0°C), or at least 60 minutes if the temperatures are below 32°F (0°C). If normal system operation is not resumed when the electric motor is switched back off, the battery may not have been sufficiently charged. If safe to do so, restart the electric motor. If problems still exist, contact a retailer/authorized repairer.
