Battery removal

Post by Silverfox58 » Mon Aug 07, 2017 5:15 pm

Hi all
Can someone tell me once you take out the battery do you have to reset anything when refitting. As i need to replace a door speaker and as the airbag is there i need to take the battery off

You have to reset time and date. Also the 4x4 warning icon will be illuminated on reconnection.
Drive forward slowly, turning the steering lock to lock. This recalibrates the steering angle sensor.
Alternatively pull the airbag fuse. Do a search for the fuse number
