CAR INACTIVITY
(with Start&Stop system with dummy pole)
(for versions/markets where provided)
In case of vehicle inactivity conditions, pay special attention to
the disconnection of the battery power supply. The procedure must
be made by disconnecting the quick release negative terminal
A-fig. 73 from the dummy negative pole B, as the battery nega-
tive pole C has a sensor D for battery condition monitoring that
must never be disconnected (unless the battery is replaced).
CAR INACTIVITY
(with Start&Stop system without dummy pole)
(for versions/markets where provided)
In case of car inactivity, special attention must be paid due to the
disconnection of the battery power supply. Proceed as follows:
detach the connector A-fig. 74 (by pressing button B) from sen-
sor C for monitoring the battery status installed on the battery neg-
ative pole D. This sensor should never be disconnected from the
pole except if the battery is replaced.

tery using a new one of the same type (HEAVY
