Warnings:
- Disconnect the battery only when necessary. Disconnecting the battery clears the ECU memory of fault codes and all settings generated by the engine management system.
- When removing the battery, always disconnect the negative terminal first, and when reconnecting the battery, always connect the positive terminal first.
- Never disconnect the power cables from the battery terminals while the engine is running. The resulting voltage surges will damage the electronic equipment.
- If the car is equipped with an alarm system and central locking, never leave the ignition key in the car when disconnecting the battery. Some alarm systems may cause the car doors to lock spontaneously when the battery is connected.
