IMPORTANT The battery recharging
procedure is provided as an example
only. You are recommended to go to a
Lancia Dealership to have this oper-
ation performed.
Low amperage slow recharging for
approximately 24 hours is advised. A
prolonged recharge might damage the
battery.
Charge the battery as follows:
❒disconnect battery negative ter-
minal;
❒connect the charger leads to the
battery terminals, observing the
polarity;
❒turn on the charger;
❒when you have finished, turn the
charger off before disconnecting
the battery;
❒reconnect the terminal to the neg-
ative pole of the battery.IMPORTANT If the car is equipped
with an alarm system, this has to be
disabled by means of the remote con-
trol (see “Alarms” section in the chap-
ter “Dashboard and controls”).
LIFTING THE CAR
If the car is to be lifted, go to a Lan-
cia Dealership which is equipped with
the arm hoist or workshop lift.
Lift the car exclusively by positioning
the jack arms or the shop jack in the
points shown in the figure.
Battery fluid is poisonous
and corrosive: avoid con-
tact with your skin and eyes. The
battery recharging operation must
be performed in a ventilated place,
away from naked flames or possi-
ble sources of sparks to avoid the
risk of explosion and fire.
WARNING
Don’t try to recharge a
frozen battery: defrost it
first to prevent the risk of explo-
sion. If a battery was frozen, have
it inspected by specialised person-
nel before recharging to check that
the internal elements are not dam-
aged and that the casing is not
cracked causing the risk of leakage
of poisonous, corrosive gas.
