service FIAT 500 2019 Owner handbook (in English)

BATTERY
The car is fitted with a low-maintenance
battery: no electrolyte top-ups with
distilled water are needed in standard
conditions of use.
INSPECTING THE
CHARGE AND THE
ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
The operations must be carried out as
described in this Owner Handbook only
by specialised personnel. Topping
must be carried out by specialised
personnel at a Fiat Dealership.
180) 181)
REPLACING THE
BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with a
genuine spare part with the same
specifications.
If a battery with different specifications
is fitted, the service intervals given in
the "Service Schedule" will no longer be
valid.
Follow the battery manufacturer's
instructions for maintenance.

64)
5)
CAR INACTIVITY (CARS
EQUIPPED WITH
START&STOP SYSTEM)
In the event of vehicle inactivity (or if the
battery is replaced), special attention
must be paid to the disconnection
of the battery power supply.
Proceed as follows: detach the
connector A fig. 132 (by pressing
button B) from sensor C for monitoring
the status of the battery installed on
the negative battery pole D. This sensor
should never be disconnected from
the battery pole except if the battery is
replaced.
IMPORTANT After turning the ignition
key to STOP and having closed the
driver's side door, wait at least one
minute before disconnecting the battery
and then reconnecting the electrical
supply to the battery.
WARNING
180)Battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with skin and
eyes. Keep naked flames and sources of
sparks away from the battery: risk of
explosion and fire.
181)Running the battery with an
excessively low liquid level will damage the
battery beyond repair and could even
cause its explosion
182)If the vehicle must remain unused for
a long time at a very low temperature,
remove the battery and take it to a warm
place, to avoid freezing.
183)When performing any operation on
the battery or near it, always protect your
eyes with special goggles.
184)Do not attempt to charge a frozen
battery: it must be thawed first, otherwise it
may explode. 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.
