How to replace the battery of the 2017 Toyota Rav4

Model: Toyota Rav 4 MK 4, Xa40 - Years 2013-2018
Part: Battery

Today we will explain how to replace the battery of the 2017 Toyota Rav4. We start the battery replacement by unscrewing the nut on the battery clamp using a 10mm wrench. Using the 10mm wrench, we unscrew the nut to disconnect the negative pole. Disconnect the positive pole and make sure it is well away from the battery when we remove it. Remove the battery from its seat and insert the new one only after checking the condition of the terminals: if damaged they need to be replaced, if rusty they need to be cleaned. Connect the positive pole and immediately after the negative pole. Position the clamp and tighten the nut using the 10mm wrench. Close the front hood and start the car to test the battery's operation.

To remove the front bumper of the Citroën C4 Picasso, you need to take out all the rivets and screws that secure the piece to its housing: these screws are located inside the wheel arches of the front wheels and at the central upper part of the bumper itself. Once all these fastening elements have been removed, you can detach the bumper from its seat by disconnecting the connectors inside and then insert the new replacement part. The new part can then be secured and connected properly, ensuring it is correctly fixed in place.
