To replace the battery in a Subaru XV, open the bonnet to access the engine bay: the battery is located inside, near the left front headlamp. To remove it, loosen the bolts securing the cross brace and disconnect the terminals.

Once the old battery is released, you can extract it from its housing and replace it with a new part. The new battery must be connected to the terminals and secured again with the respective bolts, positioning its cross brace.
