WARNING: When lifting a plastic-cased battery, excessive

pressure on the end walls could cause acid to flow through the

vent caps, resulting in personal injury and/or damage to the

vehicle or battery. Lift the battery with a battery carrier or with

your hands on opposite corners.

WARNING: Keep batteries out of reach of children. Batteries

contain sulfuric acid. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing.

Shield your eyes when working near the battery to protect

against possible splashing of acid solution. In case of acid

contact with skin or eyes, flush immediately with water for a

minimum of 15 minutes and get prompt medical attention. If

acid is swallowed, call a physician immediately.

WARNING: Battery posts, terminals and related accessories

contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.

Because your vehicle’s engine is electronically controlled by a computer,

some control conditions are maintained by power from the battery. When

the battery is disconnected or a new battery is installed, the engine must

relearn its idle and fuel trim strategy for optimum driveability and

performance. To begin this process:

1. With the vehicle at a complete stop, set the parking brake.
2. Put the gearshift in P (Park) (automatic transmission) or the neutral

position (manual transmission), turn off all accessories and start the

engine.

3. Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature.
4. Allow the engine to idle for at least one minute.
5. Turn the A/C on and allow the engine to idle for at least one minute.
6. Drive the vehicle to complete the relearning process.

NOTE:

The vehicle may need to be driven to relearn the idle and fuel trim

strategy.

If you do not allow the engine to relearn its idle trim, the idle

quality of your vehicle may be adversely affected until the idle

trim is eventually relearned.

When the battery is disconnected or a new battery installed, the

transmission must relearn its adaptive strategy. As a result of this, the
