If the vehicle must remain unused for
a long time at very low temperatures,
remove the battery and take it to a warm
place to avoid freezing.
USEFUL ADVICE FOR EXTENDING
THE LIFE OF YOUR BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery and make it last longer,
observe the following instructions:
❒when you park the vehicle, ensure that the doors,
tailgate and bonnet are closed properly to avoid the
ceiling lights remain on;
❒the ceiling lights must be off. The vehicle is however
provided with an automatic system for switching off
internal lights;
❒do not keep accessories (e.g. sound system, hazard
warning lights, etc...) switched on for a long time
when the engine is not running;
❒before performing any operation on the electrical
system, disconnect the negative battery cable;
❒battery terminals should always be completely
tightened.
IMPORTANT If the charge level remains under 50% for
a long time, the battery is damaged by sulphation,
reducing its capacity and starting attitude.The battery will also be more at risk of freezing (this can
happen as early as −10°C). Refer to the paragraph
“Vehicle inactivity” in “Starting and driving” if the car is
left parked for a long time.
If, after buying the vehicle, you want to install electric
accessories which require permanent electric supply
(alarm, etc.) contact a Fiat Dealership whose qualified
personnel, in addition to suggesting the most suitable
devices from the Lineaccessori Fiat, will evaluate the
overall electric absorption, checking 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 absorbing energy even
when the ignition key is off, they gradually run down the
battery.
IMPORTANT If a tachograph is fitted, if the vehicle is
parked for a long period of 5 days, it is advisable to
disconnect the negative battery terminal to maintain its
charge.
If the vehicle is equipped with a battery disconnection
function (disconnector), see the description of the
procedure in the „Controls“ paragraph in the
„Dashboard and controls“ section.
