Fuel Cut-out Inertia Switch
The vehicle is equipped with a safety
switch which activates in the event of
a collision, cutting off the fuel supply
and consequently causing the engine
to stop. It also prevents fuel spreading
if the fuel lines are damaged during
the accident.
Activation of the safety switch is
signaled by the illumination of the
warning light on the instrument
cluster display.
The switch is positioned underneath
the driver seat.
In order to operate the inertia switch,
lift the seat in the highest position.
WARNING!
After a collision, if you smell fuel or
note any leakage from the fuel supply
system, do not reactivate the switch in
order to prevent any fire risks.
The activation of the inertia switch
causes all the doors and the trunk lid
to unlock, the lighting of the internal
domelight and the hazard warning
flashers.

Wiper Maintenance and Blades
Replacement
WARNING!
It is dangerous to operate or service
the wiper blades with the wipers in
an active position (right multifunction
lever in any position different than
“OFF”) and with the key in the
ignition switch in the MAR (ON)
position. The rain sensors may
suddenly activate the wipers.
Windshield Wiper Maintenance
Life expectancy of wiper blades varies
depending on the geographical area’s
weather conditions where the car is
used and frequency of use. Poor
performance of blades may be present
with chattering, marks, water lines or
wet spots. If any of these conditions
are present, clean the wiper blades or
replace if necessary.
Clean the rubber edges of the wiper
blades and the windshield periodically
with a sponge or soft cloth and a mild
nonabrasive cleaner. This will remove
accumulations of salt or road film.
Operation of the wipers on dry glass
for long periods may cause
deterioration of the wiper blades.

pole (–) of the battery.
If the battery needs to be removed
from its compartment, you must first
detach the terminal clamp from
negative pole (–) and then the other
terminal clamp from positive pole (+),
after removing the protective cover.
Battery poles are marked positive (+)
and negative (–) and are identified on
the battery case.
Remove the metal clamp indicated in
the picture and then remove the
battery from the trunk compartment.
To Reconnect the Battery
NOTE:
When the battery cables have been
disconnected and the trunk lid has
been locked, it is necessary to pull the
emergency release cable in order to
re-open it. To access the trunk and
operate the emergency release (see
“Open and Close the Trunk Lid”
chapter in section “Before Starting”).
CAUTION!
• It is essential when replacing the
cables on the battery that the
positive cable is precisely attached to
the positive pole (+) and the
negative cable is attached to the
negative pole (–).
• Cable clamps should be tight on the
terminal poles and free of corrosion.
After the battery has been
disconnected and re-connected and
before starting the engine it is
necessary to proceed as follows:
• Unlock and lock the doors using the
radio control buttons on the key.
• Unlock the trunk lid with the radio
control button on the key and then
lock it manually.• Check the seats are working
correctly: in the event of
malfunction, carry out the
initialization operations described in
the chapter “Front Seats” of the
section “Understanding the Vehicle”.
• Initialize the climate control system
by activating the compressor as
described in chapter "Air
Conditioning Controls" of the section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”.
• Turn on the MTC+ and set the date
and time (see “MTC+ Setting” in
section “Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”).
• Lift, release and lift again the lever
located next the shift lever to
initialize the electric parking brakes.
In this way the
warning light
on the instrument cluster will turn
off.
CAUTION!
• Every time the battery is
reconnected, wait at least 30 seconds
with the key in the ignition switch
turned toMAR (ON)position before
starting the engine, in order to allow
the electronic system that manages
the motor-driven throttles to run a

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 (this can happen even at
14°F/-10°C).
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 appliesabove 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
14.8 V) and low amperage
(maximum limit 15 A).
•Recharge the battery in a
well-ventilated environment.
•Never charge or recharge a frozen
battery: it can explode due to
hydrogen trapped inside the ice
crystals.
•Ensure that any sparks or open

Battery Statement
Battery Statement Status of
Charge
To avoid problems with ignition and/or
the electrical system in general when
you are driving, the battery charge
status is constantly maintained and
guaranteed by the vehicle's recharge
circuit; the main component of which
is the alternator. This circuit is only
able to supply voltage to the battery
when the vehicle is traveling.
The
warning light on the
instrument cluster (see “Instrument
Cluster” in section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls”), will
indicate any malfunctions in the
recharge circuit or an insufficient
battery charge status (flashing).
The vehicle is fitted with advanced
electronic systems, such as, for
example, the alarm system and various
electronic control modules, which
consume power even when the key in
the ignition switch is in theSTOP (OFF)
position and the vehicle is not being
used.
Therefore, it is fundamental that the
battery is properly charged to ensure
that the engine starts properly and
