TIPS AND MAINTENANCE
•
Then remove the negative cable A (nor-
mally black, brown or blue).
•
Then slightly loosen the nut B on the
positive terminal.
•
First unclip the front retainer (arrow 1)
and then the rear retainer (arrow 2) from
the battery. To do this you must press the
retainers away from the battery.
•
The fuse holder with the positive cable
can now be removed upwards from the
battery and placed to the side.
•
Then unscrew the battery bracket C and
remove the battery.
Renewing the battery
Our batteries have been developed to suit
their fitting location. If the battery has to
be renewed, the new battery must have
the same voltage (12 Volts), shape and
safety features such as central degassing
and the plugs must be sealed with an
O-ring.
New output and capacity should be the
same as the old battery. SEAT Official Ser-
vice Centres have a range of suitable bat-
teries.
❀
Because of the difficulties in dis-
posing of used batteries, it is
best to have them replaced at a Tech-
nical Service Centres. Batteries con-
tain, among other substances, sul-
phuric acid and lead, and they should
never be thrown out with household
rubbish.
Installing the battery
•
Switch off the ignition and all electrical
consumers before installing the battery.
•
Place the battery in the designated
installation location. Please ensure that
the bracket lug C lines up again with the
same depth of the clamping strip. Then
secure the battery.
•
Place the fuse holder together with the
positive cable on the battery so that the
retainers on the sides of the battery
engage.
•
Then tighten the nut B on the positive
terminal.
•
Then connect the negative cable A to
the battery.
•
Fold the cover of the fuse holder back
and allow both of the spring clips to
engage.
