When your vehicle won't start and makes noises similar to electrical contacts, the cause is likely the battery. Release the bonnet using the appropriate lever and lift it to secure it with the prop rod. First, check the condition of your battery, then disconnect the terminals, starting with the negative one. Next, unclip the brackets securing the battery on both sides, then unscrew the bolts on the sides of the battery base to remove the brackets holding it in place.

Install the new battery, and you're done!

Once the tyres are inflated, turn on the instrument cluster to check that the warning light has completely disappeared from the display. If it is still present, you may need to drive for a few miles to ensure it disappears completely from the screen.
