RECHARGING THE BATTERY
IMPORTANT The battery recharging procedure is pro-
vided for information purposes only. You are recom-
mended to go to a Fiat Dealership to have this operation
performed.
We recommend recharging the battery slowly for ap-
proximately 24 hours at low amperage. Rapid charging with
high currents could damage the battery.Charge the battery as follows:❒disconnect battery negative terminal;
❒connect the charger cables to the battery terminals, ob-
serving the polarity;
❒turn on the charger;
❒when you have finished, turn the charger off before dis-
connecting it from the battery;
❒reconnect battery negative terminal.

CONTENTS
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 ex-
plosion and fire.
WARNING
Don’t try to recharge a frozen battery: de-
frost it first or it might explode. If the bat-
tery was frozen, have it inspected by specialised
personnel before recharging to check that the in-
ternal elements are not damaged and that the cas-
ing is not cracked, which could cause poisonous,
corrosive acid to leak.
WARNING
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.
Lift the car only by positioning the ends of the jack arms
or the workshop lift at the points shown in fig. 195.
IMPORTANT For Sport versions, take care not to damage
the side skirts when lifting the car with the workshop lift.
