IF THE BATTERY IS FLAT
IMPORTANT The battery recharging pro-
cedure is provided as an example only.
You are recommended to go to a Fiat
Dealership to have this operation per-
formed.
We recommend recharging the battery
slowly for approximately 24 hours at low
amperage. A long charge could damage the
battery. Proceed as follows to charge the
battery:
❒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
charger off before disconnecting the
battery;
❒reconnect battery negative terminal.
IMPORTANT If the car is equipped with
an alarm system, disarm the alarm system
by means of the remote control (see
“Alarm” paragraph in “Dashboard and
controls”).
LIFTING THE CAR
If the car is to be lifted, go to a Fiat Deal-
ership which is equipped with the arm
hoist or workshop lift.
Jack up the car only by positioning the jack
arms or the shop jack in the points shown
in the figure fig. 43.Battery fluid is poisonous
and corrosive: avoid contact
with your skin and eyes. The battery
recharging operation must be per-
formed in a ventilated placed away
from naked flames o possible sources
of sparks to avoid the risk of explo-
sion and fire.
WARNING
Never attempt to recharge a
frozen battery: defrost it first
to prevent the risk of explosion. If a
battery was frozen, have it inspect-
ed by specialised personnel before
recharging to check that the internal
elements are not damaged and that
the casing is not cracked causing the
risk of leakage of poisonous, corrosive
gas.

❒check tyre conditions/wear and pres-
sure (included spare wheel)
❒check lighting system operation (head-
lights, direction indicators, hazard
lights, boot, passenger compartment,
instrument panel warning lights, etc.)
❒check windscreen wiper/washer
(nozzle direction and blade wear)
❒check front disk brake pad conditions
and wear;
❒visually inspect the conditions of: en-
gine, gearbox, flexible and stiff piping
(exhaust, fuel feed, brakes), rubber
parts (boots, sleeves, bushings, etc.)
❒check cleanness of locks, bonnet and
boot and lever cleanness and lubrica-
tion
❒check battery charge;
❒visually check the various drive belt
conditions;
❒check and top up liquids if required
(engine coolant, brakes, windscreen
washer, battery, etc.)
❒change engine oil;
❒change engine oil filter;
❒change pollen filter (where provided).
ADDITIONAL
INTERVENTIONS
Every 1,000 km or before long journeys,
check and, if necessary, top up:
❒engine coolant fluid level;
❒brake fluid level;
❒windscreen washer fluid level;
❒tyre pressure and conditions.
Every 3,000 km check and, if necessary,

IMPORTANT - Engine oil
Should prevailing use of the car be under
one of the following specially heavy con-
ditions:
❒trailer or caravan towing;
❒dusty roads;
❒short repeated distances (less than 7-
8 km) and with external temperatures
below zero;
❒frequently idling engines or long dis-
tance low speed driving (e.g. taxis or
door-to-door deliveries) or in case of
a long term inactivity;
change engine oil more frequently than
shown on the “Service Schedule”.
IMPORTANT - Air cleaner
When the car is used on dusty roads,
change the air cleaner more frequently
than shown on the “Service Schedule”.
Call a Fiat Dealership for doubts regard-
ing engine oil and air cleaner replacement.IMPORTANT - Pollen filter
It is advisable to replace the filtering ele-
ment more frequently if the car is used in
dusty or very polluted places. Specifical-
ly, replace if a lower air flow into the pas-
senger compartment is found.
IMPORTANT - Diesel filter
Using diesel not complying with European
Specification EN590 may lead to the need
to replace the diesel fuel filter more fre-
quently than shown in the “Service Sched-
ule”.IMPORTANT - Battery
Check the battery charge once a year,
preferably before the beginning to winter,
to prevent freezing of the electrolyte.
Perform this inspection more frequently
if the car is mainly used for short distances
or if electrical devices running with the key
off are installed, particularly after-market.
Check the battery level (electrolyte) more
frequently than shown on the “Service
Schedule” if the car is used in hot climates
or in particularly demanding conditions.
Take the car to a Fiat Deal-
ership for servicing. Make
sure you have the right equip-
ment, genuine Fiat spare
parts and consumables for ordinary,
minor interventions. Do not attempt
the operations if you lack the experi-
ence.
