IMPORTANT - Battery
The charge in the battery should be checked at the
start of winter to limit the risk of electrolyte
freezing.This check should be carried out more frequently if
the car is used mainly for short trips, or if it is fitted
with accessories that permanently absorb electricity
even with the ignition key removed, especially in the
case of after market accessories. If the car is used in
hot climates or particularly harsh conditions it is
wise to check the level of the battery fluid
(electrolyte) more frequently than specified in the
“Service schedule” in this section.
