If, after buying the vehicle, you want to install electrical
accessories requiring permanent electric supply (alarm,
etc.) or having high power level consumption, contact
a Fiat Dealership, whose qualified personnel, in addition
to suggesting the most suitable devices from the Lin-
eacessori Fiat range, will assess the overall electrical con-
sumption to determine whether the vehicle’s electrical
system is capable of withstanding the load required, or
whether it should be integrated with a more powerful
battery.
Since these devices continue to use electricity even when
the engine is off, they gradually run down the battery.

INDEXUSEFUL ADVICE FOR EXTENDING THE LIFE
OF YOUR BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery and make it last longer,
follow these instructions closely:
❒when you park the vehicle, ensure the doors, boot and
bonnet are closed properly so that the ceiling lights do
not stay on;
❒turn off the ceiling lights, although the car does have
an automatic system for switching off internal lights;
❒do not leave devices (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 sys-
tem, disconnect the negative battery cable;
❒make sure battery terminals are fully tightened.
The battery is also more prone to the risk of freezing (at
temperatures as high as –10°C). If the vehicle is off the
road for long periods, refer to “Vehicle inactivity” in the
“Starting and driving” section.
