To keep the battery charge sufficient for starting the engine, it is recommended to disconnect the battery during very long periods of standing.

Before disconnecting the battery:

  • close all openings (doors, boot, windows, roof (Cabrio versions)),
  • switch off all electrical consumers (radio, window wipers, lights, etc.),
  • switch off the ignition and wait four minutes.

Once you have access to the battery, simply disconnect the lead from the (+) terminal.
