MAINTENANCE & CAR CARE<br />
Brakes & Battery<br />
Brake Fluid :<br />
Check the level of brake fluid in the brake fluid container.<br />
It should be between the Min. and Max. marks.<br />
If not, then add brake fluid. Clean the area surrounding the<br />
cap before opening the cap. Always use fresh brake fluid and<br />
tighten the cap fully, otherwise moisture from the atmosphere<br />
will be absorbed by the brake fluid, making it unserviceable.<br />
In case of spongy or hard pedal or low brake efficiency, please<br />
contact the nearest Authorised Service outlet and get the<br />
defect rectified.<br />
BATTERY :<br />
Check the battery for proper electrolyte level and corrosion<br />
on the terminals.<br />
During normal operation the battery generates gas<br />
which is explosive in nature, a spark or open flame<br />
can cause the battery to explode causing very serious<br />
injuries.<br />
Keep all sparks & open flames and smoking materials<br />
away from the battery.<br />
Getting electrolyte in your eyes or on the skin can<br />
cause severe burns. Wear protective clothing and a<br />
face shield or have a skilled technician to do the<br />
battery maintenance.<br />
The battery contains sulphuric acid (electrolyte) which<br />
is poisonous and highly corrosive in nature.<br />
1. Check the battery for electrolyte level against the marking<br />
on the battery outer case.<br />
2. Check the battery terminals for corrosion (a white or<br />
yellowish powder). To remove it, cover the terminals with<br />
a solution of baking soda. It will bubble up and turn brown.<br />
When this stops wash it off with plain water. Dry off the<br />
battery with a cloth or paper towel.<br />
Coat the terminal with petroleum jelly to prevent future<br />
corrosion.<br />
Use a proper wrench to loosen and remove cables from the<br />
terminals. Always disconnect the negative (-ve) cable first<br />
and reconnect it last.<br />
Clean the battery terminals with a terminal cleaning tool or<br />
wire brush.<br />
Reconnect and tighten the cables, coat the terminals with<br />
petroleum jelly.<br />
If you need to connect the battery to a charger, disconnect<br />
both cables to prevent damage to the vehicle’s electrical<br />
system.<br />
Note : Charging the battery with the cables connected can<br />
seriously damage your vehicle's electrical/electronic<br />
equipment.<br />
