⇒page 233.
Note
We do not recommend that you remove and install the battery yourself
(even when you are following the instructions given in this Owner's
manual) since a battery can be heavily damaged in the process under
certain circumstances. Contact a specialist garage.
Disconnecting and reconnecting the battery
On disconnecting and reconnecting the battery the following functions are
initially deactivated or are no longer able to operate fault-free.
We recommend having the vehicle checked by a specialist garage to
ensure full functionality of all electrical systems.
Replacing the battery
You should only replace a battery with a new battery of the same capacity,
voltage (12 V), amperage and of the same size. Specialist garages have
a range of suitable batteries available.
We recommend that you only have an old battery disposed of by a
specialist garage since it does require special disposal.
