Where is the battery?
I need some help. I was trying to follow the instruction from the driver manual and get to the car battery under the passsenger side seat. Not sure what I did wrong but I wasn't able to flap the carpet (not sure it is even possible) under the seat to get to the battery.
Anyone here has seen the battery and can share some tips? I have a R500 with memory seats and I assume it should make no difference.
Thanks in advance.

I have PDF file manual for R320, R350,R500 and R63 and did not show anywhere that you have to cut the carpet to access to the battery. (Only show slide the passenger forward and remove some screw, rails etc.. to get to the battery.

It is a PITA, there is a cut already in the carpet on the outer edge of the seat support near your foot. You can pull that up and access the positive terminal just be careful and not get seat mechanism grease on the carpet.
