Can anyone tell me if disconnecting the battery could affect the
speedometer calibration: is reprogramming/recalibration of the speedometer
usually needed after battery disconnection? Thanks

The only warning that the manual gives is that the 'vehicle may exhibit
some unusual driving characteristics for approximately 8Km" after a
battery disconnection until the engine management system re-learns some
of the optimum settings.

You will need the security code for your radio in order for it to work
after the power has been disconnected.

This may apply to some European built models. But in the case of my
north American built 2003 ZX3, The only thing I had to do was reset
the clock.
