Section 84 (Battery System): Tray: Operation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Chrysler Crossfire. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The battery tray provides a secure mounting location and supports the battery. The battery tray also provides the anchor points for the battery hold-down hardware. The battery tray and the battery hold-down hardware combine to secure and stabilize the battery in the engine compartment, which prevents battery movement during vehicle operation. Unrestrained battery movement during vehicle operation could result in damage to the vehicle, the battery, or both.
