Seriously, why is this a state secret? Where is it? My ECU crapped out this afternoon and required a tow to the dealership. I would have LIKED to unhook the battery to reset the system (at the very least to get the vehicle into neutral). Been nice to try...

So, anyone want to divulge this information? I’ve made it this far in life without sticking my tongue on a battery. I hope I can be trusted to not screw it up.

In the cargo area, right side, remove the small cover to reveal the scissor jack compartment, then remove the panel ahead of it for the battery.

That's the point. It's hidden somewhere with really no guidelines on how to access it unless you take it to a dealer.
