Maintenance and Care
replaced with a component of the
same type (vented).
NOTE:
Remote battery terminals for start
are located in the front luggage
compartment under the fuses box
cover for jump starting to be used
with an auxiliary battery or a battery
from another vehicle (see "Auxiliary
Jump-Start Procedure" chapter in
section "In an Emergency").
Battery State of Charge
To avoid problems with ignition and/or
the electrical system in general when
you are driving, the battery charge
status is constantly maintained and
guaranteed by the vehicle's recharge
circuit; the main component of which
is the alternator. This circuit is only
able to supply voltage to the battery
when the vehicle is travelling.
The warning light
on the
instrument cluster, will indicate any
malfunctions in the recharge circuit or
an insufficient battery charge status
(shown in figure).
The vehicle is fitted with advanced
electronic systems, such as, for
example, the alarm system and various
electronic control modules, which
consume power even when the
ignition device is in
STOP position and
the vehicle is not being used.
Therefore, it is fundamental that the
battery is properly charged to ensure
that the engine starts properly and
that all the electrical/electronic systems
in the vehicle work efficiently.
To Disconnect the Battery
The battery is fitted on the inner
central side of the front luggage
compartment.
To access the battery it is necessary to
remove the lateral side covers and the
luggage compartment container.
CAUTION!
•
Before disconnecting the battery,
lower the windows a few
centimeters, to avoid damaging the
seal and the glass when opening and
closing the door. When the battery
is connected, the lowering of the
window is performed automatically
when the door is opened and
closed. The windows must remain
lowered until the charged battery is
reconnected.
•
Never disconnect the battery from
the electrical system when the engine
is running.
• To temporarily disconnect the vehicle
electrical system from the battery,
simply remove the cable end with
quick coupling from to the negative
post (
–
