IF THE BATTERY
IS FLAT
First of all, read the “Car mainte-
nance” section for steps to be taken
to avoid the battery running down and
to ensure it has a long life.
IMPORTANT
Battery recharging
procedure is given as information on-
ly since this operation shall be only
performed at a
Fiat Dealership
.
RECHARGING THE BATTERY
You are advised to recharge the bat-
tery slowly for a period of approxi-
mately 24 hours at a low amperage.
Charging for too long could damage
the battery.
Proceed as follows:
1)
disconnect the terminal from the
battery negative pole.
IMPORTANT
If the vehicle is
equipped with an alarm, switch it off
with the remote control.
2)
Connect the charger cables to the
battery terminals.
3)
Turn on the charger.
4)
When you have finished, turn the
charger off before disconnecting the
battery.
5)
Reconnect the cables to the bat-
tery terminals. Make sure the polari-
ty is correct.
The liquid in the battery
is poisonous and corro-
sive. Do not let it touch
the skin or eyes. Recharging the
battery should be done in a well-
ventilated area away from naked
flames or possible sources of
sparks: explosion and fire risk.
Do not attempt to
charge a frozen battery: it
must firstly be thawed,
otherwise it may burst. If freez-
ing has occurred, the battery
should be checked by skilled per-
sonnel to make sure that the in-
ternal elements are not damaged
and that the body is not cracked,
with the risk of leaking poisonous
and corrosive acid.
