- 1). Find the battery under the hood mid-way between the bumper and the inside wall on the driver's side. You will see a black cover over the battery, which must be removed before removing the battery.
- 2). Remove the cable ends from the battery terminals with a battery terminal puller. Take off the negative cable first.
- 3). Lift the battery out of the compartment, which is easy to do since the car is so small.
- 4). Use the wire brush to clean the tray that holds the battery. Wipe it off with a damp cloth and let it dry before replacing new battery.
- 5). Clean the insides of the connector cables with a pointed wire brush. Keep your gloves on at all times to avoid getting acid on your hands.
- 6). Place the new battery on the shelf. Place the correct cable on each terminal and tighten securely with pliers or socket wrench. Replace the battery cover.
