BATTERY RECHARGING
IMPORTANT Battery recharging procedure is given as
information only. This operation should be performed at
a Fiat Dealership.
Charging should be slow at a low ampere rating for
approximately 24 hours. Rapid battery charging with
high currents could damage the battery. Charge the
battery as follows:
❒disconnect the negative battery terminal;
❒connect the charger cables to the battery terminals,
observing the poles;
❒turn on the charger;
❒after recharging, turn the battery charger off before
disconnecting the battery itself;
❒reconnect negative battery terminal.
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
the battery was frozen, have it inspected
by skilled personnel before recharging to check
that the internal elements are not damaged and
that the casing is not cracked, which causes the
risk of leakage of poisonous, corrosive acid.

RAISING THE VEHICLE
If the vehicle needs to be lifted, go to a Fiat Dealership
which is equipped with arm hoists or workshop lifts.
The vehicle must only be raised laterally by placing the
ends of the arms or workshop lift in the areas shown in
fig. 216.
Do not start the engine whilst the
vehicle is being towed.
WARNING
Before towing, switch off the steering lock
(see „Starting device“ paragraph under the
„Dashboard and controls“ chapter). The brake
servo and power steering will not work 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. During towing
operations, make sure that the fastened joint does
not damage adjoining components. When towing
the vehicle comply with the specific rules of the
Highway Code regarding both the towing device
and the behaviour to maintain on the road.
WARNING
TOWING THE VEHICLE
The vehicle is equipped with two rings for attaching the
tow hook.
The front ring is located in the tool box beneath the
passenger side seat. On versions with Fix&Go kit and
without spare wheel, the tool box is available only on
request for versions/markets where provided. In the
absence of the tool box the vehicle tow hook is housed
in the on-board documentation container, together with
the Owner Handbook.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct servicing is essential for ensuring long vehicle
life under the best conditions.
This is why Fiat has planned a series of checks and
maintenance operations every 40,000/45,000 km.
The scheduled maintenance programme does not,
however, cover all the vehicle requirements; during the
initial period, before the 40,000/45,000 kilometre
service and later on, between services, routine
operations must be carried out like systematically
checking and topping up fluid levels, checking the tyre
inflation pressure, etc.IMPORTANT Scheduled Servicing coupons are specified
by the Manufacturer. Failure to have them carried out
may invalidate the warranty.
Schedule servicing can be carried out by any Fiat
Dealership, at pre-established times.
If there is a need for further replacements or repairs
during any operation in addition to those planned, prior
consent of the Customer must be obtained first.
IMPORTANT It is advisable to contact a Fiat Dealership
in the event of any minor operating failure, without
waiting for the next service coupon.
If your vehicle is used frequently for trailer towing, the
interval between scheduled maintenance services must
be reduced.
