Its VERY straight forward.


1) Pop the hood.
2) Release the 2 little tabs on the cover that says "battery" and lift it away.
3) Use the correct size wrench to loosen both the negative/positive terminals.
4) Pull out the battery, it can be heavy.
5) Place the new battery back in the battery tray.
6) Attach the positive/negative terminals to the matching colors (red or black) or symbols ( +/- )
7) Replace the plastic battery cover and clip it into place.
8) Save your radio/seat settings all over again.


Profit.

I thought there were more trim pieces to be removed? Put a new battery in my wife's and my car is jealous and wants a new one too.

There's only one trim piece but it has 5 or 6 clips holding it in. Remove them by popping them up with a flat screwdriver. Also, you will probably need to take the fuse box loose (not remove it) to get more room. It's clipped in, just pull up on it. The nut size on both terminals is 10 mm.

Wow!! the stock battery without handle was a PIA to get out for real!! what technique is everyone using to take it out?

my replacement battery came w/ a handle & if only the stock came w/ a handle. it is already replaced but wonder how everyone took it out besides lifting w/ 2 hands/arms of course.
