If your vehicle's battery is disconnected or goes dead:
- The audio system is disabled.
- The clock resets.
- The navigation system* is disabled.
WARNING
The battery gives off explosive hydrogen gas during normal operation.
A spark or flame can cause the battery to explode with enough force to kill or seriously hurt you.
When conducting any battery maintenance, wear protective clothing and a face shield, or have a skilled technician do it.
WARNING: Battery post, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds.
Wash your hands after handling.
