20.12 Auxiliary drivebelt tensioner on
2.2 litre engines
Turn the tensioner as indicated to release
the tension
13 Turn the tensioner anti-clockwise and
locate the auxiliary drivebelt onto the pulleys
in the correct routing. If the drivebelt is being
re-used, make sure it is fitted the correct
way around. With the belt in position, slowly
release the tensioner arm making sure that the
drivebelt ribs locate correctly on each of the
pulley grooves.
14 Refit the air cleaner housing, then refit the
wheel arch liner and roadwheel, and lower the
vehicle to the ground.
1 Using a screwdriver, prise the battery cover
from the ignition key fob (see illustration).
2 Note how the circular battery is fitted, then
carefully remove it from the contacts (see
illustration).
3 Fit the new battery (type CR 2032) and refit
the cover making sure that it clips fully onto
the base.
4 After changing the battery, lock and unlock
the driver's door wilh the key in the lock to
synchronise the remote control unit.
Note: It is not possible for the home mechanic
to bleed the clutch hydraulic system on
Easytronic models. Refer to Chapter 7C for
additional information.

1 With the vehicle on a slight slope, apply
the handbrake lever by up to 4 clicks of the
ratchet, and check that it holds the vehicle
stationary, then release the lever and check
that there is no resistance to movement of the
vehicle.
2 If necessary, adjust the handbrake as
follows.
3 Chock the front wheels then jack up the
rear of the vehicle and securely support it on
axle stands (see Jacking and vehicle support).
4 From inside the vehicle, lift out the rubber
mat from the base of the centre console. The
handbrake cable adjuster nut is accessible
through the access opening in the console
base (see illustration).
5 Move the handbrake lever to the fully
released position then, using a deep socket,
turn the cable adjuster nut anti-clockwise to
remove all tension from the cables.
6 Depress the footbrake five times, then fully
apply and release the handbrake lever five
times.
7 With the handbrake lever set on the second
notch of the ratchet mechanism, rotate the
adjuster nut clockwise until a reasonable
amount of force is required to turn each wheel.
Note: The force required should be equal for
each wheel.
8 Now pull the handbrake lever up to the third
notch of the ratchet mechanism and check
that both rear wheels are locked. Once this

extreme caution when handling and
pouring it. Do not use fluid that has
been standing open for some time, as
it absorbs moisture from the air. Excess
moisture can cause a dangerous loss of
braking effectiveness.
1 The procedure is similar to that for the

is so, fully release the handbrake lever and
check that the wheels rotate freely. Check
the adjustment by applying the handbrake
fully whilst counting the clicks emitted from
the handbrake ratchet and, if necessary,
re-adjust.
9 On completion of adjustment, refit the
rubber mat to the centre console, then lower
the vehicle to the ground.

bleeding of the hydraulic system as described
in Chapters 9 (brake) and 6 (clutch).
2 Working as described in Chapter 9, open
the first bleed screw in the sequence, and
pump the brake pedal gently until nearly
all the old fluid has been emptied from the
master cylinder reservoir. Top-up to the MAX
level with new fluid, and continue pumping
until only the new fluid remains in the reservoir,
and new fluid can be seen emerging from the
