Remove and Reinstall the Battery
To disconnect or remove the battery, do
the following:
1. Apply the parking brake and switch the
ignition off.
2. Switch all electrical equipment off, for
example lights and radio.
3. Wait a minimum of two minutes before
disconnecting the battery.
*
4. Disconnect the negative battery cable
terminal first.
5. Disconnect the positive battery cable
terminal last.
6. Remove the battery securing clamp.
7. Remove the battery.
8. Install in the reverse order.

*
The engine management system has a
power hold function and remains powered
for a period after you switch the ignition
off. This is to allow diagnostic and adaptive
tables to be stored. Disconnecting the
battery without waiting can cause damage
not covered by the vehicle Warranty.
**
Before reconnecting the battery, make
sure the ignition remains switched off.
Note: If you only disconnect the negative
battery cable terminal, make sure it is
isolated or placed away from the battery
terminal to avoid un-intended connection
or arcing.
Note: Make sure the battery cable terminals
are fully tightened.
Note: If you disconnect or replace the
battery, you must reset the clock and the
pre-set radio stations once the battery is
reconnected.
