Part: Battery

In this video, you will see where the battery is located in the Citroen Xsara Picasso and how to proceed if you need to replace it. As shown, it is not located in the usual place inside the engine compartment but rather inside the cabin, beneath the driver's seat. To remove it, first go to the back seat, then unscrew all the indicated bolts with a Torx T40 key and lift the seat forward. At this point, you can disconnect both battery terminals, starting with the negative, unscrew the nuts of the fixing bracket, and extract it from its housing.
