To replace the battery in a Citroen C3, turn off the engine, remove the key, and open the bonnet. Locate the battery in the engine bay and remove the plastic protective cover.

Disconnect the negative (-) terminal first, followed by the positive (+) terminal. Free the battery from its mounting system by removing the bracket or clamp that holds it in place.

Firmly grasp the battery and pull it out of the compartment. Position the new battery with the terminals in the same orientation and secure it again.

Reconnect the positive terminal first, then the negative, ensuring the terminals are tightly secured. Replace the cover and start the vehicle to check that the electrical systems are functioning correctly.
