RECHARGING
THE BATTERY
IMPORTANT The battery recharging pro-
cedure is provided for information pur-
poses only. You are recommended to go
to a Fiat Dealership to have this operation
performed.
We recommend recharging the battery
slowly for approximately 24 hours at low
amperage. Rapid charging with high cur-
rents could damage the battery.
VERSIONS WITHOUT
Start&Stop SYSTEM
Charge the battery as follows:
❒disconnect battery negative terminal;
❒connect the charger cables to the bat-
tery terminals, observing the polarity;
❒turn on the charger;
❒when you have finished, turn the charg-
er off before disconnecting it from the
battery;
❒reconnect battery negative terminal.
fig. 41F0M0518m
VERSIONS WITH Start&Stop
SYSTEM (with dummy pole)
fig. 41
(for versions/markets, where provided)
To charge, proceed as follows:
❒disconnect the quick-release negative
terminal Afrom the negative dummy
pole Bbecause the battery negative
pole Chas a sensor Dmonitoring the
battery conditions, that should never
be disconnected from the negative pole
C(unless the battery is replaced);
❒connect the battery charger positive ca-
ble to the battery positive pole Eand
the negative cable to the dummy pole
B;

RAISING THE CAR
If the car needs to be lifted, go to a Fiat
Dealership which is equipped with the arm
hoist or workshop lift.
The car should be lifted side-on only, by
putting the ends of the arms or the work-
shop lifting device in the areas shown in
the diagram.
Do not try to rechargea frozen
battery; defrost it first to pre-
vent the risk of explosion. If the bat-
tery was frozen, have it inspected by
specialised personnel before recharg-
ing to check that the internal ele-
ments are not damaged and that the
casing is not cracked, which could
cause poisonous, corrosive gas to leak.
WARNING
fig. 42F0M0513m
Battery fluid is poisonous
and corrosive: avoid contact
with your skin and eyes. The battery
must be recharged in a ventilated
place away from naked flames or
possible sources of sparks to avoid the
risk of explosion and fire.
WARNING
VERSIONS WITH Start&Stop
SYSTEM fig. 42

❒disconnect the connector A(pressing
the button B) from the sensor Cmon-
itoring the battery conditions, on the
negative pole Dof the battery;
❒connect the battery charger positive ca-
ble Eand the negative cable to the ter-
minal of sensor D, according to figure;
❒turn on the battery charger. At the end
of the charging process, switch the bat-
tery charger off;
❒after disconnecting the battery charg-
er, reconnect the connector Ato the
sensor Caccording to figure.

Proceed as follows:
❒release the cap A;
❒take the tow ring Bfrom its support;
❒screw the ring onto the rear or front
threaded pin.
The brake booster and pow-
er steering will not work
while the vehicle is being towed. You
will therefore need to apply more
force to the brake pedal and steering
wheel. Do not use bendy cables for
towing and avoid jerking. Make sure
not to damage parts in contact with
the car while towing. Respect the
rules of the highway code when tow-
ing the car, specifically in relation to
the towing device and road conduct.

carefully before fastening
the ring. Make sure that the ring is se-
curely fastened before towing the car.
WARNING
Release the steering wheel

allowed to tow the car for short dis-
tances using an appropriate device in
accordance with the highway code
(a rigid bar), to move the vehicle on
the road in readiness for towing or
transporting via a breakdown vehicle.
Tow hooks MUST NOT be used to
tow vehicles off the road or where
there are obstacles and/or for tow-
ing operations using cables or other
non-rigid devices.
Respecting the above conditions,
towing must take place with two ve-
hicles (one towing, the other towed)
aligned as much as possible along the
same centre line.

IMPORTANT Scheduled Services are pre-
scribed by the manufacturer. Failure to
stick to the schedule may invalidate the
warranty.
Scheduled Servicing is performed by all Fi-
at Dealerships at pre-arranged times.
If, during each part of the service, the need
arises for additional replacements or re-
pairs, these may be carried out only with
the explicit agreement of the Customer.IMPORTANT You are advised to contact
a Fiat Dealership in the event of any mi-
nor operating faults, without waiting for
the next service.
If your car is used frequently for towing,
the interval between services should be
reduced.SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance is essential for
ensuring long car life under the best con-
ditions.
This is why Fiat has planned a series of
checks and services every 30,000 km.
It is, however, important to remember
that scheduled servicing does not com-
pletely cover all the car’s requirements:
even in the initial period before 30,000 km,
and then subsequently between one ser-
vice and another, ordinary care is always
required such as routine checks involv-
ing topping up fluid level, checking tyre
pressures etc...
