Lift up the plastic cover from the negative battery terminal or remove the cover screws on the battery.
Disconnect the negative cable. Release the lower console holding the battery.

Install the lower console and secure with screws.
Connect the positive wire, press it down and close it with the plastic cap.
Connect the negative wire, bend the plastic cover down if necessary.
Place the plastic cover or slip cover on the battery.
Make sure the drain hose is properly connected to the battery and the outlet on the vehicle body.

Starting the engine after disconnecting and reconnecting the battery
Turn the key in the ignition.
Wait about a minute, then turn on the starter to re-initialize the vehicle's electronic systems.
If the battery has been disconnected and not reconnected for an extended period of time, the following functions may need to be reinitialized:
- anti-pinch protection and step-by-step control of electric windows;
- parameters for displaying functions on the information display (date, time, message language, units of distance and temperature);
- car radio frequency settings;
- settings in the navigation system;
- re-initialize the remote control;
- central lock.
Some settings will be lost after disconnecting the battery, so they need to be restored.
