Video tutorial

In this video, you can see where the battery is located in the BMW X1 and how to proceed if you need to recharge it or perform a jump start. As shown, it is not located in the typical housing in the engine compartment but rather inside the trunk, specifically beneath the floor panel.

To connect to the terminals, you will need to use the connections in the engine compartment, as there is a rather bulky box on the positive terminal. The positive terminal is located beneath the red cap, while the negative is right in front of the right wheel well.

How to open the bonnet of a Peugeot 308

To open the bonnet of a Peugeot 308, first enter the vehicle and pull the lever located on the left side of the driver's footwell, next to the door. You should hear a slight "click" indicating the bonnet has released. Then, move to the front of the vehicle. On the left side of the front edge, near the letter "p" in the Peugeot logo, you will find a ring that you need to pull towards you.
