How do you replace the battery on your Opel Meriva? This guide explains the process: open the car door and pull up the engine bay release lever located at the bottom left of the dashboard, then lift the bonnet, disengaging the locking lever with your fingers.

Once the engine bay is open, you will find the battery at the top right; remove the securing bolts from the battery terminals (using a socket spanner), then take the battery out of the engine bay and replace it with a new one (same voltage).

Close the engine bay at the end of the maintenance.
