Excellent tutorial, the explanations are very clear and the photos complement the information well. However, when I opened the hood, I thought I would never be able to change the battery. But finally, thanks to the tutorial, it is not so complicated. Reassembly is easier, and after 5 minutes, it starts up again immediately.
THANKS !

Hello and thank you for this very practical tutorial, although there are a few errors to correct:
2nd step:
To unclip the calculator, you must pull vertically and not horizontally towards you as the blue arrow indicates in the photo.
Step 3:
It is not necessary to remove the computer cover, just unclip the assembly and wedge it to the side.
Step 4:
The battery protection cover is held in place at the rear (under the brake fluid reservoir) by two plastic notches.
Do not pull it towards you as indicated by the red arrows in the photo, this will break the retaining notches. !
You must therefore pivot it (like a hinge) starting from the front then undo the hood from its rear notches.
Step 5:
You have to unscrew the bolt but also remove it and remove the battery holding parts.

Hello, I have a power steering problem after replacing the battery. Is this a problem with the computer?
Thanks in advance.

Hello
We must not forget the factor of the electric braking system. I had the experience of being unable to move the car because it was in the middle of a parking lot when I wanted to bridge it with another car. How angry I was, thank you for progress but not this one. I find it dangerous, fortunately I was on a private arrangement. The battery or backup battery seems like a good alternative to me. Very good deduction.
