IF THE BATTERY IS FLAT
WARNING The battery charging proce-
dure is described only for information pur-
poses. This operation should be carried
out by Fiat Dealership.
Charging should be slow at a low amp ra-
ting for 24 hours. Charging for a longer ti-
me may damage the battery.
Charge the battery as follows:
❒disconnect battery negative terminal;
❒connect the charger cables to the bat-
tery terminals, observing the poles;
❒turn on the charger;
❒when you have finished, turn the char-
ger off before disconnecting the bat-
tery;
❒reconnect battery negative terminal.
IMPORTANT If the car is fitted with alarm
system, turn it off with the remote con-
trol (see “Alarm” in section “Dashboard
and controls”).
The liquid in the battery is
poisonous and corrosive. Do
not let it touch the skin or eyes. Re-
charging the battery should be done
in a well ventilated area away from
naked flames or possible sources of
sparks: explosion and fire risk.
WARNING
Do not attempt to charge a
frozen battery: it must firstly
be thawed, otherwise it may burst. If
freezing has occurred, the battery
should be checked by skilled person-
nel to make sure that the internal ele-
ments are not damaged and that the
body is not cracked, with the risk of
leaking poisonous and corrosive acid.

If the car is to be lifted, go to a Fiat Dea-
lership which is equipped with the arm
