MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT - Battery
The charge in the battery should be
checked at the start of winter to limit the
risk of electrolyte freezing.
This check should be carried out more
frequently if the car is used mainly for
short trips, or if it is fitted with accessories
that permanently absorb electricity even
with the ignition key removed, especially
in the case of after market accessories. If
the car is used in hot climates or particu-
larly harsh conditions it is wise to check
the level of the battery fluid (electrolyte)
more frequently than specified in the “Ser-
vice schedule”. IMPORTANT - Pollen filter
If the car is used frequently in dusty or
heavily polluted environments it is advis-
able to replace the filtering element more
frequently; in particular it should be re-
placed if a reduction of the amount of air
admitted to the passenger compartment
is noted.
IMPORTANT - Diesel filter
The possibility of topping up with diesel
fuel not complying with EN590 European
Norm might make it necessary to replace
the filter more frequently than indicated
in the “Service Schedule”.Car maintenance should be
entrusted to Fiat Dealership.
For routine and minor main-
tenance operations you wish
to carry out yourself, always make sure
you have the proper equipment, gen-
uine Fiat spare parts and the necessary
fluids; do not however carry out these
operations if you have no experience.

CAR
MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT A battery which is kept at
a charge of less than 50% (optical indica-
tor with dark colour without green area
in the middle) for any length of time will
be damaged by sulphation leading to a re-
duction in cranking power.
Moreover, this might lead to a higher risk
of the battery electrolyte freezing (this
may even occur at -10°C). If the car is in-
active for a long period of time, refer to
“Car inactivity”, in section “Correct use
of the car”.In fact, since these devices continue ab-
sorbing energy even when the ignition key
is off, they gradually run down the battery.
The total intake of these systems (facto-
ry and after-market) must be less than 0,6
mA x Ah (of the battery) as shown in the
following table:
Battery
40 Ah
50 Ah
60 AhIf after buying the car, you want to install
electric accessories which require per-
manent electric supply (alarm, etc.) con-
tact Fiat Dealership whose qualified per-
sonnel, in addition to suggesting the most
suitable devices, will evaluate the overall
electric absorption, checking whether the
car’s electric system is capable of with-
standing the load required, or whether it
should be integrated with a more power-
ful battery.
