RECHARGING THE BATTERY
IMPORTANT The battery recharging procedure is
provided for information purposes 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. A
prolonged recharge might damage the battery.
Charge the battery as follows:
without Start&Stop system:
disconnect battery negative terminal;
connect the charger cables to the battery
terminals, observing the polarity;
turn on the charger;
when you have finished, turn the charger off
before disconnecting it from the battery;
reconnect battery negative terminal.with Start&Stop system:fig. 176
disconnect the quick release negative terminal A
from the dummy negative terminal B; this is
because a battery status monitoring sensor D is
fitted on the negative battery terminal C and
should never be disconnected except for when the
battery is actually replaced;
connect the positive cable of the charger to the
positive pole E of the battery and the negative
cable to the dummy negative terminal B;
turn on the charger;
when you have recharged, turn the charger off
before disconnecting it from the battery;
after disconnecting the charger, reconnect the
negative quick release negative terminal A from
the dummy pole B.

with Start&Stop (RADSOK) system:fig. 177
disconnect the connector A (by pressing button
B) from IBS sensor C for monitoring the status
of the battery installed on the negative pole D of
the battery itself;
connect the positive cable to the positive battery
terminal E and the negative terminal to the IBS
sensor F as shown in fig. 177;
turn on the charger;
switch the charger off after recharging;
after having disconnected the charger, reconnect
connector A to IBS sensor C as shown in fig. 177.
WARNING
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
Do not tr y to recharge a frozen batter y;
defrost it first to prevent the risk of
explosion. If the battery was frozen, have it
inspected by specialised personnel before
recharging to check that the internal elements
are not damaged and that the casing is not
cracked, which could cause poisonous, corrosive
acid to leak.

AIR CLEANER/ POLLEN FILTER
Have the air cleaner 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.
WARNING
The battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with the skin
and eyes. Keep naked flames and sources of
sparks away from the battery: risk of explosion
and fire.
WARNING
Running the battery with an excessively
low liquid level will damage the battery
beyond repair and even cause an explosion.
