add demineralized/distilled water up to the UPPER LEVEL line

you will get more information on page 8-21 of owner's manual .........

It is their standard advise given.
I changed the battery from TCM less than a month a go and after servicing i got the same advice on the report.

Well....at least if things go wrong, they can't deny not having checking it.....some sort of guarantee i suppose...

Even for MF battery, still have to check (check the color to see if it is time to change battery).
