tive cap fitted on the positive battery terminal.

Reconnect the negative battery cable.

Install the battery tray.

Note:
Disconnecting the battery clears all entries (such as
errors, adaptations) from the Motronic control unit
memory.
The loss of the adaptations may sometimes lead to
engine performance being temporarily impaired
when the engine is restarted.
Motronic restores the lost adaptations itself over the
following operating hours.

Switch on the ignition.
