Attention! Before starting any electrical work, read the warnings in section "Safety first!" at the beginning of this manual and chapter 5.
1. Electrical system - 12-volt, with "minus the mass". Power for lighting and other current consumers is supplied from an acid battery, which is recharged from an alternator with a built-in rectifier.
2. This chapter describes repair and maintenance procedures for various electrical components not directly connected to the engine. Alternator, starter and battery information can be found in chapter 5A.
3. Before working on electrical equipment, make it a habit to disconnect the negative cable from the battery to prevent a short circuit.
Note: If the radio installed in your car has a secret code, make sure you know the code before disconnecting the battery. If in any doubt, contact your dealer for assistance.
