Do not insert the ignition key and lift the bonnet, supporting it with the prop rod by pulling the lever located to the left (and down) of the steering wheel. The battery on the Opel Meriva is located to your right and replacing it is particularly simple: just disconnect it and unscrew the terminal bolts, perhaps using a socket spanner.

Now you can remove it and refit the new battery in place. Ensure the new part is suitable for your car; check the manual provided with the purchase of the vehicle.

Tighten the securing bolts and once the battery is connected, check its operation.
