AIR CLEANER
Air cleaner replacement shall be carried
out at Fiat Dealership.
POLLEN FILTER
Pollen filter replacement shall be carried
out at Fiat Dealership.
BATTERY
The battery is of the “Limited mainte-
nance” type: under normal conditions of
use the electrolyte does not need topping
up with distilled water.
The battery is located inside the passen-
ger’s compartment in front of the pedal
assy. Remove the protection cover to find
it.
Contact Fiat Dealership to have the bat-
tery checked/replaced.
CHECKING
THE CHARGE fig. 12
The battery charge may be checked
through the indicator Aset on the bat-
tery cover and acting according to the
colour the indicator shows.
The liquid in the battery is
poisonous and corrosive.
Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Do
not bring naked flames or possible
sources of sparks near the battery:
risk of fire and explosion.
WARNING
Running the battery with
low fluid level can damage
the battery beyond repair and could
also cause its explosion.
WARNING
Do not press down the pow-
er steering with the engine
running for over 8 seconds,
noise and risk of damages will
result.
Power steering fluid con-
sumption is extremely low. If
the fluid level needs topping
up again after a short period
of time, have the system checked for
leakage at a Fiat Dealership.To check the battery charge, loosen the
two fastening screws and open the cov-
er. Then, close the cover accurately avoid-
ing pinching and short circuits.
Refer to the table below.
