Useful Advice to Extend
Battery Life When parking the vehicle, make sure
that the doors, front, rear lids and
flaps are properly closed. All interior
lights should be off.
When the engine is turned off, do not
keep the connected devices switched
on for a long time (such as radio,
hazard warning flashers, fan, etc.).
CAUTION!
If the battery charge remains below
50% for a long period of time, it will
be damaged due to sulfation; its
performance and starting power will
be reduced and it will be more subject
to freezing.
We recommend you to have the
battery
charge condition
checked,
preferably at the beginning of the
cold season, to prevent the electrolyte
from freezing. This check should be carried out more
frequently if the vehicle is used mainly
for short trips or if it is equipped with
power-absorbing devices that remain
permanently on even when the
ignition switch is off. This applies
above all if these devices have been
retrofitted ("Aftermarket" services).
If the vehicle is not used for long
periods of time, please see “Vehicle
Stored for Long Periods” in this
section.
Battery Recharge WARNING!
The process of charging or recharging
the battery produces hydrogen, a
flammable gas that can explode and
cause serious injuries. When charging
or recharging the battery, follow the
recommended precautions at all
times.
• Before using a charger device
always check that this tool is
suitable for the installed battery,
with constant voltage (lower than
14.0 V) and low amperage
(maximum limit 15 A).
• Recharge the battery in a
well-ventilated environment. • Never charge or recharge a frozen
battery.
• Ensure that any sparks or open
flames are kept well away from the
battery while it is charging.
• Before using a charger to charge or
maintain the battery charge status,
carefully follow the instructions
provided to ensure the charger is
connected to the battery safely and
correctly.
It is possible to recharge the battery
without
disconnecting the cables of
the vehicle electrical system.
• To access the battery lift the ground
coverage of the trunk compartment
and remove the access cover as
previously shown (see paragraph “To
Disconnect the Battery" in this
chapter.
• Remove the protection cover and
connect the terminal clamp of the
