  6. Install in the reverse order of removal.
NOTE:
  • For the vehicle equipped with a battery sensor, be careful not to damage the battery sensor when the battery is replaced or recharged.
    1. When replacing the battery, the new battery should be of the same type, capacity and brand with the previous one. If a battery of a different type is replaced, the battery sensor may recognize the battery to be abnormal.
    2. When installing the ground cable on the negative post of battery, tighten the clamp to the specified torque. An excessive tightening can damage the PCB internal circuit and the battery terminal.
    3. When recharging the battery, ground the negative terminal of the booster battery to the vehicle body.
