In a combustion engine vehicle, the 112 V battery 1 is located in the engine compartment.
In the case of hybrid specifications, the 12 V battery is located under luggage compartment 2.
Replacing the 12 V battery
If the 12 V battery needs to be replaced, be sure to contact an authorized service center.
Caring for the 12 V battery
The 12 V battery must be well charged and maintained to ensure long life and performance, and to ensure smooth engine starting.
The 12 V battery must be kept clean and dry.
Check the state of charge of the 12 V battery regularly.
- Regular checks are especially necessary for short trips or frequent driving around town.
- When the outside temperature drops (in winter), the state of charge deteriorates. In winter, use only the necessary electrical devices.
- Be careful when using many externally purchased accessories, as they will reduce the charge status of the 12 V battery and shorten the life of the 12 V battery.
Especially if the vehicle is parked for relatively long periods during extreme cold, it is advisable to disconnect the negative (-) terminal of the 12 V battery or charge the 12 V battery regularly. If the 12 V battery is discharged, memory functions such as the trip computer and radio must be reset. The 12 V battery should be stored in a cool, dry location that is not subject to freezing.
