From the factory, this model is equipped with a maintenance-free battery. The battery is located in the trunk. See Fig 1.

Maintenance-free batteries have non-removable battery vent caps. Water cannot be added to this battery. Under normal service the composition of this battery reduces gassing and water loss at normal charge rates. If the battery electrolyte level becomes low, this battery must be replaced.
