Removal
1. Disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal.
Caution! It is recommended to wait approximately two minutes after turning off the engine before disconnecting the battery. This is due to the fact that the engine control unit has a "self-learning" function and it needs this time to store the acquired information in its memory.
2. Open the side sliding door, detach its guide and stop 1, supporting the door on the corresponding support 2 (see illustration).
