IN AN EMERGENCY
216
IN THE EVENT OF A FLAT BATTERY
Before anything else, you are advised to
read the precautions for preventing the bat-
tery from draining and for ensuring long life
in the “Vehicle maintenance” chapter.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
IMPORTANT
The battery charging pro-
cedure is described only for information pur-
poses. This operation should be carried out
by Alfa Romeo Authorised Services.
Charging should be slow at a low amp rat-
ing for 24 hours. Charging for a longer time
may damage the battery.
Charge the battery as follows:
– Disconnect the battery negative termi-
nal (
–
).
– Connect the charger cables to the bat-
tery terminals ensuring that the bias is cor-
rect.
– Turn on the charger.
– After charging, turn off the charger be-
fore disconnecting it from the battery.
– Re-connect the battery negative termi-
nal (
–
).
STARTING WITH AN
AUXILIARY BATTERY
See “Starting with an auxiliary battery” in
this chapter.
Strictly avoid using a bat-
tery charger to start the
engine: you may damage
the electronic systems, in particu-
lar the ignition and fuel supply con-
trol units.
The liquid contained in the
battery is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with the
skin or eyes. The battery should be
charged in a well ventilated place,
away from naked flames or pos-
sible sources of sparks: danger of
explosion and fire.
WARNING
Do not attempt to charge a
frozen battery: it must
firstly be thawed, otherwise it
may burst. If freezing has occurred,
the battery should be checked by
skilled personnel to make sure that
the internal elements are not dam-
aged and that the body is not
cracked, with the risk of leaking
poisonous and corrosive acid.
