pressing buttonB) from sensorCfor
monitoring the battery status installed on
the battery negative poleD. This sensor
should never be disconnected from the
pole except if the battery is replaced.EMERGENCY STARTING
(with Start&Stop system with
dummy pole)
(for versions/markets where provided)
In case of vehicle jump starting, never
connect the negative cable (–) of the
auxiliary battery to the negative pole
B-fig. 105of the vehicle battery, rather
to the dummy pole A or to an en-

In some versions, capBmay be provided
with a lock and key; use the ignition key
to access the flapA, turn it anti-clockwise
and unscrew the cap itself.
The hermetic seal may cause a slight in-

RECHARGING
THE BATTERY
IMPORTANT The battery recharging pro-
cedure is provided for information pur-
poses only. You are recommended to go
to a Fiat Dealership to have this operation
performed.
We recommend recharging the battery
slowly for approximately 24 hours at low
amperage. Rapid charging with high cur-
rents could damage the battery.
VERSIONS WITHOUT
Start&Stop SYSTEM
Charge the battery as follows:
❒disconnect battery negative terminal;
❒connect the charger cables to the bat-
tery terminals, observing the polarity;
❒turn on the charger;
❒when you have finished, turn the charg-
er off before disconnecting it from the
battery;
❒reconnect battery negative terminal.
fig. 41F0M0518m
VERSIONS WITH Start&Stop
SYSTEM (with dummy pole)
fig. 41
(for versions/markets, where provided)
To charge, proceed as follows:
❒disconnect the quick-release negative
terminal Afrom the negative dummy
pole Bbecause the battery negative
pole Chas a sensor Dmonitoring the
battery conditions, that should never
be disconnected from the negative pole
C(unless the battery is replaced);
❒connect the battery charger positive ca-
ble to the battery positive pole Eand
the negative cable to the dummy pole
B;
❒switch on the battery charger. At the
end of the charging process, switch the
charger off before disconnecting it;
❒after disconnecting the battery charg-
er, reconnect the quick-release nega-
tive terminal Ato the dummy pole B.

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.
The car should be lifted side-on only, by
putting the ends of the arms or the work-
shop lifting device in the areas shown in
the diagram.
Do not try to rechargea frozen
battery; defrost it first to pre-
vent the risk of explosion. If the bat-
tery was frozen, have it inspected by
specialised personnel before recharg-
ing to check that the internal ele-
ments are not damaged and that the
casing is not cracked, which could
cause poisonous, corrosive gas to leak.
WARNING
fig. 42F0M0513m
Battery fluid is poisonous
and corrosive: avoid contact
with your skin and eyes. The battery
must be recharged in a ventilated
place away from naked flames or
possible sources of sparks to avoid the
risk of explosion and fire.
WARNING
VERSIONS WITH Start&Stop
SYSTEM fig. 42
(without dummy pole)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
To charge, proceed as follows:
❒disconnect the connector A(pressing
the button B) from the sensor Cmon-
itoring the battery conditions, on the
negative pole Dof the battery;
❒connect the battery charger positive ca-
ble Eand the negative cable to the ter-
minal of sensor D, according to figure;
❒turn on the battery charger. At the end
of the charging process, switch the bat-
tery charger off;
❒after disconnecting the battery charg-
er, reconnect the connector Ato the
sensor Caccording to figure.
