5-2. Steps to take in an emergency

When trouble arises

UK_AURIS_EE

 Charging the battery

The electricity stored in the battery will discharge gradually even when the

vehicle is not in use, due to natural discharge and the draining effects of cer-

tain electrical appliances. If the vehicle is left for a long time, the battery may

discharge, and the engine may be unable to start. (The battery recharges

automatically during driving.)

CAUTION

 Avoiding battery fires or explosions

Observe the following precautions to prevent accidentally igniting the flam-

mable gas that may be emitted from the battery.

 Make sure the jumper cable is connected to the correct terminal and that it

is not unintentionally in contact with any part other than the intended termi-

nal.

 Do not allow the jumper cables to come into contact with the “+” and “-” ter-

minals.

 Do not allow open flame or use matches, cigarette lighters or smoke near

the battery.

 Battery precautions

The battery contains poisonous and corrosive acidic electrolyte, while

related parts contain lead and lead compounds. Observe the following pre-

cautions when handling the battery.

 When working with the battery, always wear safety glasses and take care

not to allow any battery fluids (acid) to come into contact with skin, clothing

or the vehicle body.

 Do not lean over the battery.

 In the event that battery fluid comes into contact with the skin or eyes,

immediately wash the affected area with water and seek medical attention.

Place a wet sponge or cloth over the affected area until medical attention

can be received.

 Always wash your hands after handling the battery support, terminals, and

other battery-related parts.

 Do not allow children near the battery.
