GENERAL INFORMATION

All vehicles covered in this manual have a 12 V electrical system. The ground connection is made through the battery negative terminal. The battery is located in the engine compartment.

A starter motor is used to start the engine. The starter switch is an integral part of the ignition switch and, when turned on, energizes the solenoid relay mounted on the starter.

The charge indicator lamp built into the instrument panel indicates that the electrical system is operating properly while the battery charge is normal.
