If the car is not used for long periods of
time, we advise to disconnect the
battery using the switch found to its
left, on the right-hand side
compartment of the trunk. To open
the compartment, pull the cover using
handle A.
Before disconnecting the battery:
– Make sure that the electronic alarm
is not activated.
WARNING Before disconnecting the
battery, lower the side windows by
about 4÷5 centimeters, in order to
avoid damaging the top strips when
opening and closing the doors. When
the battery is connected and loaded,
this operation is carried out
automatically upon opening and
closing the door. The windows must
remain lowered until the battery is
connected once again. If the battery
runs flat when the windows are fully
raised, open the door only if necessary
and taking utmost care. Do not close
the door as long as the window cannot
be lowered.
– Open the luggage compartment.
– Close the doors and lock them using
the key (in order to avoid their being
opened when the battery is
disconnected).
WARNING Disconnect the battery only
several minutes after the engine has
been switched off.
WARNING When the battery is
disconnected, some standard series
systems or “after market” mounted
systems could loose some of the data
stored; in the event that a satellite
anti-theft system is installed,
remember to contact the Operative
Headquarters before disconnecting
the battery.
WARNING When the battery is
disconnected, the side window will not
be lowered automatically upon
opening the door. Therefore, closing
the door without due care may cause
the side window to break.
