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.
For the sake of the environment
Batteries contain poisonous substances such as sulphuric acid and lead.
They must be disposed of in accordance with local environmental protec-
tion regulations and on no account as domestic waste.
