Maintenance and service
Replacing the battery
1. Switch off the ignition and remove the
key.
2. Unscrew the cover over the battery.
3. Wait at least 5 minutes before touching
any electrical terminals (so that the
information in the car’s electrical system
can be stored in the different control
modules).
4. Remove the cover and unscrew the
front wall of the battery box using a
screwdriver.
5. Disconnect the battery negative lead.
6. Release the clamp holding the battery.
7. Disconnect the positive lead.
Install the battery in the reverse order.
WARNING!
Batteries can generate oxyhydrogen,
which is highly explosive. A spark, which
can be generated if the jump leads are
incorrectly connected, is sufficient to
explode the battery. The battery also
contains sulphuric acid, which can
cause serious corrosive damage. If the
acid comes into contact with your eyes,
skin or clothes, flush with large
quantities of water. If acid splashes into
your eyes, contact a doctor immediately.
