JACKING THE CAR
If the car is to be lifted, go to a Abarth
Dealership which is equipped with the arm
hoist or workshop lift.Do not attempt to charge a
frozen battery: it must first-
ly 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 el-
ements are not damaged and that the
body is not cracked, with the risk of
leaking poisonous and corrosive acid.
WARNING
Jack up the car only by positioning the jack
arms or the shop jack in the points shown
in the figure.
IMPORTANT In case of side lift by means
of a workshop hoister, be careful not to
damage the aerodynamic spoilers (skirts).

(❍) In order to ensure correct efficiency and avoid damaging the engine, it is necessary to:
- exclusively use certified spark plugs specific for the T-JET engines. All candles to be fitted must be of the same
type and same manufacturer (see recommendations reported in the “Engine” paragraph);
- strictly respect the candles’ Scheduled Maintenance Plan;
- it is recommended to apply to Abarth Dealership.
