Title: Battery removal.
Post by: WILLZIE on September 30, 2009, 12:44:07 pm

Quick question, does the car have to be put into some sort of valet mode for disconnection of the battery or anything? (don't want the alarm going mad!)
Or do I just disconnect it and thats it?
Ta!

Just unhook the negative lead first and then the positive > remove the battery.

Depending on how long its disconnected, on reconnection you may see a few check lights in the dashboard that should extinguish themselves after a short drive.
