Note: If the battery has been disconnected, the vehicle may exhibit some unusual driving characteristics for several kilometers after reconnecting it. This is because the engine management system needs to be reconfigured to match the engine parameters. You can ignore the unusual behavior of the vehicle during this period.
1. To access the battery terminals and indicator, remove the plastic cover by pressing the latch at the front (2 in illustration 17.3 Chapter 1) and pulling the cover upwards. If the battery is covered by a soft casing, simply pry the casing from the wing side (1) and fold it up and to the side, after which the casing can be pulled upwards off the battery.
2. Turn off all electrical consumers, remove the key from the ignition and wait a minute.
3. To disconnect the battery, disconnect the wire from its negative terminal. If necessary, disconnect the positive wire only after disconnecting the negative wire.
4. After working on the SRS system, turn on the ignition before connecting the battery. No one should be in the car during this time.
5. On models with the system "Start-stop" (with battery status control unit "J367") disconnect the connector before connecting the battery (3 on the accompanying illustration) block (2). The connector should be connected only after the battery is connected.

6. Connect the battery in the reverse order. Do not lubricate the battery terminals. If the positive cable has been disconnected, connect it before connecting the negative cable. Tighten the clamping bolts with a force of 6 Nm.
7. After connecting the battery, turn the ignition on and off, then do the following:
- set the time on the clock;
- initialize the electric window lifter (see Chapter "Controls and operating techniques");
- enter the security code for the audio/navigation system (except for models with standard audio/navigation system);
- using a diagnostic tool, perform the steering angle sensor zero compensation procedure;
- use a diagnostic tool to read the fault codes;
- check the proper operation of all electrical consumers.
