Starter battery - replacement

The starter battery in the car can be replaced
without the help of a workshop.
The car's traditional 12 V battery is here
called "starter battery" even if the hybrid bat-
tery (p. 350) is often used for starting the
internal combustion engine.
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.
