IF THE BATTERY IS FLAT
IMPORTANT The battery charging pro-
cedure is described only for information
purposes. This operation should be car-
ried out by Fiat Dealership.
Charging should be slow at a low amp rat-
ing for 24 hours. Charging for a longer
time 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 charg-
er off before disconnecting the battery;
❒ reconnect battery negative terminal.
IMPORTANT Where relevant, switch the
electronic car alarm off with remote con-
trol (see “Alarm” in section “Dashboard
and controls”).
The liquid contained in the
battery is poisonous and cor-
rosive. Avoid contact with the skin or
eyes. The battery should be charged
in a well ventilated place, away from
naked flames or possible sources of
sparks: danger of explosion and fire.
WARNING
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.
