quick coupling from the negative
pole (–) of the battery.
If the battery needs to be removed
from
its compartment, you must first
detach the terminal clamp from
negative pole (–) and then the other
terminal clamp from positive pole (+),
after removing the protective cover.
Battery poles are marked positive (+)
and negative (–) and are identified on
the battery case.
Remove the metal clamp indicated in
the picture and then remove the
battery from the trunk compartment. To Reconnect the Battery NOTE:

been locked, it is necessary to pull the
emergency release cable in order to
re-open it. To access the trunk and
operate the emergency release (see
“Open and Close the Trunk Lid”
chapter in section “Before Starting”).
CAUTION!
• It is essential when replacing the
cables on the battery that the
positive cable is precisely attached to
the positive pole (+) and the
negative cable is attached to the
negative pole (–).
• Cable clamps should be tight on the
terminal poles and free of corrosion.

necessary to proceed as follows:
• Unlock and lock the doors using the
radio control buttons on the key.
• Unlock the trunk lid with the radio
control button on the key and then
