REMEDY FOR A DISCHARGED BATTERY

AC310768 AB

Battery cable
for AYC

Battery fuse assembly

When the engine is started using a booster cable
where the battery has completely run down and you
attempt to start the vehicle without waiting for the
battery to recover a certain charge, the engine can
misfire and you just cannot start to move it. In such
cases, charge the battery sufficiently; or, remove the
AYC battery cable from the battery fuse assembly to
make AYC inactive before attempting to start the
vehicles. When the battery cable is removed, the
ACD mode indicator lamp lights up. After the battery
has been recharged, fit the battery cable back again
and start the engine to ensure that the ACD mode
indicator lamp is off.
