The battery 1 does not require maintenance. You should not open it or add any fluid.

Depending on the vehicle, a system continuously checks the battery charge status. If this decreases, the "Battery Now In Standby Mode" message appears on the instrument panel followed by "Battery Low Start Engine". In this case, start the engine and the message on the instrument panel will disappear.
