IF THE BATTERY IS FLAT
IMPORTANT The battery charging pro-
cedure is described only for information
purposes. This operation should be car-
ried out by Fiat Dealership.
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 battery negative terminal;
❒ connect the charger cables to the bat-
tery terminals, observing the poles;
❒ turn on the charger;
❒ when you have finished, turn the charg-
er off before disconnecting the battery;
❒ reconnect battery negative terminal.
IMPORTANT Where relevant, switch the
electronic car alarm off with remote con-
trol (see “Alarm” in section “Dashboard
and controls”).
The liquid contained in the
battery is poisonous and cor-
rosive. Avoid contact with the skin or
eyes. The battery should be charged
in a well ventilated place, away from
naked flames or possible sources of
sparks: danger of explosion and fire.
WARNING
Do not attempt to charge a
frozen battery: it must first-
ly be thawed, otherwise it may burst.
If freezing has occurred, the battery
should be checked by skilled person-
nel to make sure that the internal el-
ements are not damaged and that the
body is not cracked, with the risk of
leaking poisonous and corrosive acid.

Batteries contain substances
that are very harmful for the
environment. You are advised
to have the battery changed
at a Fiat Dealership, which is properly
equipped for disposing of used batter-
ies respecting nature and the law.
If the car is left inactive for
long periods at cold, remove
the battery and store it in a warm
place to prevent freezing.
WARNING
When working on the bat-
tery or near it, always wear
the proper goggles.
WARNING
USEFUL ADVICE
FOR LENGTHENING THE LIFE
OF YOUR BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery and length-
en its life, observe the following indica-
tions:
❒ when you park the car, ensure the
doors, tailgate and bonnet are closed
properly;
❒ the ceiling lights must be off. The car
is however provided with an automat-
ic system for switching off internal
lights;
❒ do not keep accessories (e.g.: sound
system, hazard lights, etc.) switched on
for a long time when the engine is not
running;
❒ before performing any operation on the
electrical system, disconnect the bat-
tery negative cable;
❒ battery terminals shall always be per-
fectly tightened.Moreover, this might lead to a higher risk
of the battery electrolyte freezing (this
may even occur at –10°C). If the car is in-
active for a long period of time, refer to
“Car inactivity”, in section “Correct use
of the car”.
If after buying the car, you want to install
electric accessories which require per-
manent electric supply (alarm, etc.) con-
tact Fiat Dealership whose qualified per-
sonnel, in addition to suggesting the most
suitable devices, will evaluate the overall
electric absorption, checking whether the
car’s electric system is capable of with-
standing the load required, or whether it
should be integrated with a more power-
ful battery.
In fact, since these devices continue ab-
sorbing energy even when the ignition key
is off, they gradually run down the battery.

Remember that road holding
depends also on the correct
tyre inflating pressure.
WARNING
If the pressure is too low the
tyre overheats and this can
cause it serious damage.
WARNING
Do not cross switch the
tyres, moving them from the
right of the car to the left and vice
versa.
WARNING
Never submit alloy rims to
repainting treatments re-
quiring to use temperatures exceed-
ing 150°C since the mechanical prop-
erties of the wheels could be im-
paired.
WARNING
RUBBER HOSES
As far as the brake system and fuel rubber
hoses are concerned, carefully follow the
“Service schedule” in this section.
Indeed ozone, high temperatures and pro-
longed lack of fluid in the system may
cause hardening and cracking of the hoses,
with possible leaks. Careful control is
therefore necessary.
WINDSCREEN/
REAR WINDOW
WIPERS
BLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part using
special products; TUTELA PROFES-
SIONAL SC 35is recommended.
Change the blades if the rubber edge is
warped or worn out. You should in any case
change them approximately once a year.
A few simple notions can reduce the pos-
sibility of damage to the blades:
❒ if the temperature fall below zero,
make sure that ice has not frozen the
rubber against glass. If necessary, thaw
using an antifreeze product;
❒ remove any snow from the glass: in ad-
dition to protecting the blades, this pre-
vents effort on the motor and over-
heating;
❒do not operate the windscreen and
rear window wipers on dry glass.
Driving with worn wiper
blades is a serious hazard,
because visibility is reduced in bad
weather.
