12 Volt Battery Access. 2023 Yaris Hybrid

[Loanwheeler]

Hi. Can anyone help me with how to remove the access panel below the rear seat to the 12 volt Battery. The access panel is different to that shown in the manual provided with the car. It seems to be secured with a single fixing that looks like the fixings under the bonnet that secures the front car bodywork. I don’t want to damage the Battery access panel by brute force. Any ideas would be welcome.

Maybe this would help:

Remove rear under side cover RH.
(1) Remove the 2 clips.
(2) Disengage the clips and guides to remove the rear under side cover RH.

Thank you Marek for your assistance.

The two clips (arrowed above) are east to pop out - just push the middle circle in and they come off.  When replacing, push the stem down so that the head pops up then push into the hole in the cover.
