The battery fluid is poisonous and corro-
sive. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes.
Keep naked flames or possible sources of sparks
away from the battery: risk of explosion or fire.
WARNING
Using the battery when the fluid is too low
can damage it irreparably and generate
a risk of explosion.
WARNING
AIR FILTER/POLLEN FILTER
Have the air filter or the pollen filter replaced by a Fiat
Dealership.

BATTERY
The battery is of the “limited maintenance” type: under
normal conditions of use, the electrolyte does not need
topping up with distilled water.
It does, however, need to be checked regularly at a Fiat
Dealership or by specialist personnel to make sure it is
working properly.
The presence of water in the supply circuit
may cause severe damage to the injection
system and irregular engine operation. If
the warning light
ccomes on, go to a Fiat Dealer-
ship as soon as possible to have the system bled.
Water may have entered the tank if this appears
immediately after refuelling: if this happens, switch
the engine off immediately and contact a Fiat Deal-
ership.

REPLACING THE BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with an original spare part
with the same specifications.
If a battery with different specifications is fitted, the ser-
vice intervals given in the “Scheduled Servicing Plan” will
no longer be valid.
Follow the battery manufacturer’s instructions for main-
tenance.
Incorrect assembly of electric and electronic
devices may cause severe damage to your
vehicle. Go to a Fiat Dealership if you want
to install accessories (anti-theft device, mobile
phone, etc.): they will suggest the most suitable de-
vices and advise you if a higher-capacity battery
needs to be installed.
Batteries contain substances that can be
very harmful to the environment. It is ad-
visable to have the battery changed by a Fi-
at Dealership, where it will be disposed of proper-
ly and in accordance with the law.
If the vehicle must remain unused for a long
time at very low temperatures, remove the
battery and take it to a warm place to
avoid freezing.
If you have to perform any operation on
the battery or near it, always protect your
eyes with special goggles.

If, after buying the vehicle, you want to install electrical ac-
cessories requiring permanent electric supply (alarm, etc.)
or having high power level consumption, contact
a Fiat Dealership, whose qualified personnel, in addition to
suggesting the most suitable devices from the Lineacessori
Fiat range, will assess the overall electrical consumption
to determine whether the vehicle’s electrical system is ca-
pable of withstanding the load required, or whether it
should be integrated with a more powerful battery.
Since these devices continue to use electricity even when
the engine is off, they gradually run down the battery.

USEFUL ADVICE FOR EXTENDING THE LIFE
OF YOUR BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery and make it last longer, fol-
low these instructions closely:
❒when you park the vehicle, ensure the doors, boot and
bonnet are closed properly so that the ceiling lights do
not stay on;
❒turn off the ceiling lights, although the car does have
an automatic system for switching off internal lights;
❒do not leave devices (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 sys-
tem, disconnect the negative battery cable;
❒make sure battery terminals are fully tightened.
IMPORTANT A battery which is kept at a charge of less
than 50% for any length of time will be damaged by sul-
phating leading to a reduction in cranking power.
The battery is also more prone to the risk of freezing (at
temperatures as high as –10°C). If the vehicle is off the
road for long periods, refer to “Vehicle inactivity” in the
“Starting and driving” section.
