Note: Please read the above instructions carefully before disconnecting the battery.
8. Turn off all electrical consumers and wait approximately 1 minute to remove the internal electrical voltage on the electronic circuits.
9. On Corsa-C models, the battery is installed on the right (in the direction of the car) in a niche behind the bulkhead of the engine compartment under the fairing grille. On Meriva models, the battery is installed in the engine compartment on the left in front of the expansion tank.
10. On Corsa-C models, remove the fairing grille (see chapter 11), on Meriva models, disconnect the fuse box (see chapter 12).
11. Loosen the terminal lug nut and disconnect the wire from the negative terminal (see resist. illustration). Lift the positive terminal cover and disconnect the second wire from the battery.
8.11. Terminal Lug Nuts Negative «-» (1) and positive «+» (2) battery terminals (Corsa-C models) - the arrow indicates the mounting bracket mounting bolt
12. On Corsa-C models, unscrew the mounting bolt, slide the mounting bracket in the direction indicated by the arrow (see resist. illustration). Remove the battery from the niche. On Meriva models, the front bolt on the battery tray must be removed to remove the mounting bracket.
8.12. Bolt (1) mounting bracket fasteners (2) battery
13. Installation is carried out in the reverse order to the dismantling of the components. Before connecting the battery, it is necessary to clean its surfaces and terminals from traces of oxide and dirt (see chapter 1). Lubricate the terminal blocks with petroleum jelly after connecting the wires.
Attention: The negative wire must be connected last! Do not reverse the battery poles when connecting the wires - this can cause serious damage to the generator and other electrical equipment! Make sure the battery is secure.
14. After connecting the battery, it is necessary to coordinate the electric drives of the windows and the top hatch (with appropriate equipment) (see chapter «Controls and methods of operation»), as well as the steering angle sensor (see above).
