Nissan Sentra Owners Manual: Battery
NOTE:
Care should be taken to avoid situations
that can lead to potential battery discharge
and potential no-start conditions such as:
- Installation or extended use of electronic
accessories that consume battery power
when the engine is not running (Phone chargers,
GPS, DVD players, etc.)
- Vehicle is not driven regularly and/or only
driven short distances. In these cases, the
battery may need to be charged to maintain
battery health.
WARNING
- Do not expose the battery to flames, an
electrical spark or a cigarette. Hydrogen
gas generated by the battery is explosive.
Explosive gases can cause blindness
or injury. Do not allow battery fluid
to contact your skin, eyes, fabrics or
painted surfaces. Sulfuric acid can
cause blindness or injury. After touching
a battery or battery cap, do not
touch or rub your eyes. Thoroughly
wash your hands. If the acid contacts
your eyes, skin or clothing, immediately
flush with water for at least 15 minutes
and seek medical attention.
- Do not operate the vehicle if the fluid in
the battery is low. Low battery fluid can
cause a higher load on the battery
which can generate heat, reduce battery
life, and in some cases lead to an
explosion.
- When working on or near a battery, always
wear suitable eye protection and
remove all jewelry.
- Battery posts, terminals and related accessories
contain lead and lead compounds.
Wash hands after handling.
- Keep battery out of the reach of
children.
- Do not tip the battery. Keep the vent
caps tight and the battery level.
|

- Remove the vent caps with a screwdriver as
shown. Use a cloth to protect the battery
case.

- Check the fluid level in each cell. If it is
necessary to add fluid, add only distilled
water to bring the level up to the bottom of
the filler opening. Do not overfill. Reinstall
the vent caps.
Vehicles operated in high temperatures or under
severe conditions require frequent checks of the
battery fluid level.
JUMP STARTING
If jump starting is necessary, see “Jump starting”
in the “In case of emergency” section of this
manual. If the engine does not start by jump
starting, the battery may have to be replaced.
