Battery, Removing And Installing: Installing: Notes
Install in the reverse order of removal, while noting the following:
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.
Only maintenance-free batteries conforming to standards "TL82506" (from 12/1997) and "VW75073" (from 08/2001) may be installed. Refer to the Electronic Parts Information (ETKA).
Batteries from the replacement parts program have a base strip adapter for adapting to different clamping strips. Information on whether and how to use the base strip adapter. Refer to the Battery Owner's Manual.
