The battery is generally located in the engine bay (in some cars, it is placed in the boot - like many BMWs - or even under the passenger side scuff plate - like in Mercedes). In the case of the vehicle in question, it is located right in front of the air filter housing.

First, disconnect the negative terminal, then the positive terminal, and finally the mounting bracket at the bottom. Once the battery is freed, remove it from its seat and replace it with a new one, reversing the process, ensuring compatibility in terms of size, terminal position, and especially capacity and cranking power.

Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
