Battery fluid is poisonous and corrosive:
avoid contact with your skin and eyes.
The battery recharging operation must be
performed in a ventilated place, away from
naked flames or possible sources of sparks to
avoid the risk of explosion and fire.
WARNING
Don’t try to recharge a frozen battery: If
freezing has occurred, the battery should
be checked by skilled personnel to make sure
that the internal elements are not damaged and
that the body is not cracked, with the risk of
leaking poisonous and corrosive acid.

Before towing, switch off the steering
lock (see “Starting device” paragraph in
the “Knowing your car” section). The power
brakes and power steering will not operate
while the vehicle is being towed. More effort on
the brake pedal and steering wheel will
therefore be required. Do not use flexible cables
when towing and avoid jerky movements. While
towing, make sure not to damage parts in
contact with the car. Respect the rules of the
highway code when towing the car, specifically
in relation to the towing device and road
conduct.
WARNING
The front and rear tow hooks should be
used only for emergency operations on
the road. You are allowed to tow the car for
short distances using an appropriate device in
accordance with the highway code (a rigid bar),
to move the vehicle on the road in readiness for
towing or transporting via a breakdown vehicle.
Tow hooks MUST NOT be used to tow vehicles
off the road or where there are obstacles and/or
for towing operations using cables or other non-
rigid devices. Respecting the above conditions,
towing must take place with the two vehicles
(one towing, the other towed) aligned as much
as possible along the same centre line.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct servicing is essential in guaranteeing a long life
for the car under the best conditions.
This is why Abarth has planned a series of checks and
maintenance operations every 15,000 km.
It is, however, important to remember that scheduled
servicing does not completely cover all the car’s
requirements: even in the initial period before 15,000
km, and then subsequently between one service and
another, ordinary care is always required such as
routine checks involving topping up fluid level, checking
tyre pressures etc...IMPORTANT Scheduled Servicing coupons is specified
by the Manufacturer.
Failure to have them carried out may invalidate the
warranty.
The services can be carried out by any Abarth
Dealership at the appointed times.
If during each operation, in addition to the ones
scheduled, the need arises for further replacements or
repairs, these may only be carried out with the express
agreement of the Customer.
IMPORTANT You are advised to contact an Abarth
Dealership in the event of any minor operating faults,
without waiting for the next service.
