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. 372) 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.
10 Maintenance and service
Open the clips on the front cover and
remove the cover.
Release the rubber moulding so that the
rear cover is free.
Remove the rear cover by screwing one
quarter turn and lifting it away.
WARNING
Connect and remove the positive and neg-
ative cables in the correct order.
Detach the black negative cable.
Detach the red positive cable.
Detach the ventilation hose from the bat-
tery.
Loosen the screw holding the battery
clamp.
