Removal
Set the wheels to the straight ahead position.
Disconnect the ground cable from the battery.
Caution: This erases data in the electronic memory, such as the engine fault memory or the radio receiver code. Disconnect the battery only with the ignition switched off, otherwise the fuel injection device control unit may be damaged. Before disconnecting the battery, read the instructions in the "Radio receiver" and "Removing and installing the battery" sections.
