BATTERYThe battery is of the “Limited mainte-
nance” type: under normal conditions of
use, the electrolyte does not need topping
up with distilled water.
The battery fluid is poiso-
nous and corrosive. Avoid
contact with the skin and eyes. Keep
naked flames or possible sources of
sparks away from the battery: risk of
explosion or fire.
WARNING
CHECKING THE CHARGE
AND THE ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
Inspection operations must be carried out
only by specialised personnel, following
the prescriptions contained in this Own-
er Handbook. Any top-up operations
must be carried out only by specialised
personnel at a Fiat Dealership.
Using the battery when the
fluid is too low can damage
it irreparably and generate a risk of
explosion.
WARNING
REPLACING THE BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with an
original spare part with the same specifi-
cations.
If a battery with different specifications is
fitted, the service intervals given in the
“Scheduled Servicing Plan” will no longer
be valid.
For battery maintenance, you should
therefore refer to the instructions pro-
vided by the battery manufacturer.
