Only touch the metal
part when handling halo-
gen bulbs. If the transpar-
ent bulb is touched it reduces the
intensity of the light emitted and
can also reduce the life of the
bulb. If you touch the bulb acci-
dentally, rub it with a cloth moist-
ened with alcohol and leave it to
dry.
Halogen bulbs contain
pressurised gas which, if
broken, may cause small
fragments of glass to be project-
ed outwards.

CAR MAINTENANCE

USEFUL ADVICE FOR
LENGTHENING THE LIFE
OF YOUR BATTERY
To preserve the battery charge and
its functions, observe the following in-
structions:
– when you park the car, ensure the
doors, tailgate and bonnet are closed
properly. The ceiling lights must be off;
– the battery cables must be well fas-
tened;
– do not keep accessories (e.g.:
sound system, hazard lights, etc.)
switched on for a long time when the
engine is not running;
– before performing any operation
on the electrical system, disconnect
the battery negative cable.IMPORTANTA battery which is
kept at a charge of less than 50% for
any length of time will be damaged by
sulphation leading to a reduction in
cranking power and a higher risk of
the battery electrolyte freezing (this
may even occur at –10°C). If the car
is inactive for a long period of time, re-
fer to “Storing the car”, in “Getting to
know your car” section.If after buying the car, you want to
install electric accessories which re-
quire permanent electric supply, con-
tact a Fiat Dealership, whose qual-
ified personnel, in addition to sug-
gesting the most suitable devices be-
longing to the Lineaccessori Fiat, will
evaluate the overall electric absorp-
tion, checking whether the vehicle’s
electric system is capable of with-
standing the load required, or whether
it should be integrated with a more
powerful battery.
