ing for 24 hours. Charging for a longer
time may damage the battery.
Charge the battery as follows:
❒disconnect battery negative terminal;
❒connect the charger cables to the bat-
tery terminals, observing the poles;
❒turn on the charger;
❒when you have finished, turn the
charger off before disconnecting the
battery;
❒reconnect battery negative terminal.
WARNING If the vehicle is fitted with
alarm system, turn it off with the remote
control (see “Alarm” in the “Dashboard
and controls” chapter).
JACKING THE CAR
If the car is to be lifted, go to a Fiat Deal-
ership which is equipped with the arm
hoist or workshop lift.
Jack up the car only by positioning the jack
arms or the shop jack in the points shown
in the figures fig. 43.
The liquid in the battery is
poisonous and corrosive. Do
not let it touch the skin or eyes.
Recharging the battery should be
done in a well ventilated area away

of sparks: explosion and fire risk.
WARNING
Do not attempt to recharge
a frozen battery. Thaw it
first, otherwise it could explode. If the
battery froze, make sure the internal
elements are not broken (short-circuit
risk) and that the casing is not
cracked (risk of spilling the poisonous
and corrosive fluid).
