Tips on battery care
 Your car's battery requires no mainte
nance in normal vehicle operation
(DIN 43539/T2).
However, have the battery's charge
status and acid level checked at the
start of the cold season by a qualified
specialist workshop, e.g. a smart cen
ter.
 The battery stoppers on the top must be
opened to check the acid level. Acid
must come up to MAX mark.
 If the car is used almost exclusively for
short trips, recharge the battery ap
proximately every three months. This
will preserve your vehicle's startability
and prolong the battery's operating
life.
 Disconnect the car's battery for ex
tended periods of nonuse and re
charge approximately every six months.
 If the car is left for extended periods of
time (three to four weeks) with the bat
tery still connected, it must be re
charged.
