CAUTION:
A loosely mounted battery may cause the following hazards:
- Shortened service life due to vibration damage (explosion hazard).
- If the battery is not secured properly, the plates within the battery can be damaged.
- Damage to the battery housing caused by the bracket (possible electrolyte leakage, high subsequent costs).
- Inadequate crash safety.
CAUTION:
- Only maintenance-free batteries conforming to standards "TL82506" (from 12/1997) and "VW75073" (from 08/2001) may be installed.
- Batteries from the replacement parts program have a base strip adapter for adapting to different clamping strips.
- For information on whether to use the base strip adapter and how to use it, refer to the appropriate Battery Service Information.
