RECHARGING THE BATTERY
IMPORTANT The battery recharging procedure is pro-
vided for information purposes only. You are recom-
mended to go to a Fiat Dealership to have this operation
performed.
We recommend recharging the battery slowly for ap-
proximately 24 hours at low amperage. A prolonged
recharge might damage the battery.
Charge the battery as follows:
WITHOUT START&STOP SYSTEM
❒disconnect battery negative terminal;
❒connect the charger cables to the battery terminals,
observing the polarity;
❒turn on the charger;
❒when you have finished, turn the charger off before dis-
connecting it from the battery;
❒reconnect negative battery terminal.
F0V0209mfig. 177b
IF THE START&STOP SYSTEM IS INSTALLED
Versions with dummy pole fig. 177b
❒disconnect the quick release negative terminal A from
the dummy negative terminal B; this is because a battery
status monitoring sensor D is fitted on the negative bat-
tery terminal C and should never be disconnected ex-
cept for when the battery is actually replaced;
❒connect the positive cable of the charger to the posi-
tive pole of the battery and the negative cable to the
dummy negative terminal B;
❒turn on the charger;
❒when you have recharged, turn the charger off before
disconnecting it from the battery;
❒after disconnecting the charger, reconnect the quick
release negative A to the dummy terminal B.
Versions without dummy pole fig. 177c
❒Disconnect the connector A (pressing the button B)
from the sensor C monitoring the battery conditions,
on the negative pole D of the battery;
❒connect the battery charger positive cable to the bat-
tery positive pole E and the negative cable to the ter-
minal of sensor F, according to fig. 177c;
❒turn the battery charger on;
❒at the end of the charging process, switch the battery
charger off;
❒after having disconnected the battery charger, re-con-
nect the connector A to the sensor C, according to
fig. 177c.

RAISING THE VEHICLE
If the vehicle needs to be lifted, go to a Fiat Dealership
which is equipped with the arm hoist or workshop lift.
TOWING THE VEHICLE
The tow ring supplied with the vehicle is located in the
tool box located either behind the left seat backrest (Car-
go versions) or in the boot (Doblò / Doblò Combi ver-
sions).
FASTENING THE TOW
RING fig. 178-179
Proceed as follows:
❒release the cap A;
❒remove the tow ring B from the tool box;
❒screw the ring tightly onto the rear or front threaded pin.
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.
