Starter battery - replacement
The starter battery in the car can be replaced
without the help of a workshop.
The starter battery is a traditional 12 V bat-
tery.
Removal
First of all: Take the remote control key from
the ignition switch and wait at least 5 minutes
before any electrical connections are touched
- this is because the car's electrical system
needs to store the necessary information to
control modules.
Open the clips on the front cover and
remove the cover.
Release the rubber moulding so that the
rear cover is free.
