Battery fluid is poisonous and corrosive:
avoid contact with your skin and eyes. The
battery recharging operation must be performed
in a ventilated place, away from naked flames or
possible sources of sparks to avoid the risk of ex-
plosion and fire.
WARNING
Don’t try to recharge a frozen battery: de-
frost it first or it might explode. If the bat-
tery was frozen, have it inspected by specialised
personnel before recharging to check that the in-
ternal elements are not damaged and that the cas-
ing is not cracked, which could cause poisonous,
corrosive acid to leak.
WARNING
RAISING THE CAR
If the car needs to be lifted, go to a Fiat Dealership which
is equipped with the arm hoist or workshop lift.
Lift the car only by positioning the ends of the jack arms
or the workshop lift at the points shown in fig. 195.
IMPORTANT For Sport versions, take care not to damage
the side skirts when lifting the car with the workshop lift.
