Never disconnect a battery lead while the
engine is running; otherwise, the electrical
components could be damaged.
ECA16751
When disconnecting the battery leads from
the battery, be sure to disconnect the nega-
tive battery lead first, then the positive bat-
tery lead. If the positive battery lead is
disconnected first and a tool or similar item
contacts the vehicle, a spark could be gen-
erated, which is extremely dangerous.

generated, which is extremely dangerous.
