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.
WARNING
JACKING THE CAR
If the car is to be lifted, go to a Fiat Dea-
lership which is equipped with the arm
hoist or workshop lift.
Jack up the car only by positioning the jack
arms or the shop jack in the points shown

CAR
MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT The Programmed Mainte-
nance coupons are specified by the Man-
ufacturer- The failure to have them car-
ried out may invalidate the warranty.
Scheduled Servicing is performed by all Fi-
at Dealership, at pre-established times.
If during each operation, in addition to the
ones programmed, the need arises for fur-
ther replacements or repairs, these may
be carried out only with the explicit agree-
ment of the Customer.IMPORTANT You are advised to contact
Fiat Dealership in the event of any minor
operating faults, without waiting for the
next service coupon.
If your car is used frequently for towing,
the interval between one service coupon
and the other must be reduced.SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance is essential for en-
suring long car life under the best condi-
tions.
This is why Fiat has programmed a series
of checks and maintenance operations
every 30.000 km.
It is however important to remember that
scheduled servicing does not completely
cover all the car’s requirements: also in
the initial period before 30.000 km service
coupon and later, between one coupon
and another, ordinary care is still required
such as for example routine check and
topping up the level of fluids, tyre pressure
check, etc...
