correct containers as speci-
fied by law or by taking them to a Fiat
Dealership, which will deal with their
disposal.
Requesting additional
remote controls
The system acknowledges up to 8 remote
controls. Should a new remote control be
necessary, contact a Fiat Dealership, tak-
ing with you the CODE card, a personal
identity document and the car’s owner-
ship documents.

AND DRIVING
CAR INACTIVITYIf the car is to be left inactive for longer
than a month, the following precautions
should be observed:❒
park the car in covered, dry and, if pos-
sible, well-ventilated premises;
❒
engage a gear;
❒
check that the handbrake is engaged;
❒
disconnect the clip for the negative bat-
tery terminal and check battery charge.
Repeat this check once every three
months during storage. Recharge the
battery if the indicator is dark and the
middle area is not green;
❒
clean and protect the painted parts us-
ing protective wax;
❒
clean and protect the shiny metal parts
using special compounds readily avail-
able;
❒
sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber
windscreen and rear window wiper
blades and lift them off the glass;
❒
open the windows slightly;
❒
cover the car with a fabric or perfo-
rated plastic sheet. Do not use compact
plastic sheets which do not allow hu-
midity to evaporate from the surface of
the car;
❒
inflate tyres to a pressure of +0.5 bar
above the normal specified pressure
and check regularly;
❒
if you don’t disconnect the battery from
the electrical system, check its charge
every month and recharge it if the in-
dicator shows a dark colour without
the central green area;
❒
do not drain the engine cooling system.
IMPORTANT Where relevant, switch off
the car alarm with the remote control.
Keep your speed down when
snow chains are fitted – do
not exceed 50 km/h. Avoid
potholes, steps and pave-
ments and also avoid driving
for long distances on roads
not covered with snow to avoid dam-
aging the car and the road surface.

AND DEVICESSERVICE
AND CARE
IMPORTANT If the battery’s charge stays
below 50% for a long time it becomes
damaged through sulphation, which re-
duces its capacity and ability to start
the car.
The battery will also be more at risk of
freezing (this can happen as early as
−10°C). Refer to “Car inactivity” in “Start-
ing and driving” if the car is left parked for
a long time.
If, after buying the car, you want to install
electrical devices that require a permanent
electric supply (alarm, etc.) or devices that
use a lot of electricity, contact a Fiat Deal-
ership. Their qualified personnel, in addi-
tion to suggesting the most suitable de-
vices from the Lineaccessori Fiat range,
will evaluate the overall electricity con-
sumption, checking whether the car’s elec-
tric system is capable of withstanding the
load required, or whether it should be in-
tegrated with a more powerful battery.
Since these devices continue to consume
energy even when the engine is switched
off, they gradually run down the battery. USEFUL ADVICE FOR
EXTENDING THE LIFE
OF YOUR BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery and make
it last longer, follow these instructions
closely:
❒
when you park the car, ensure that the
doors, boot and bonnet are closed
properly to prevent the ceiling courtesy
lights from staying on;
❒
turn off the ceiling lights, although the
car does have an automatic system for
switching off internal lights;
❒
do not leave devices (e.g. sound sys-
tem, hazard lights, etc.) switched on
for a long time when the engine is not
running;
❒
before performing any operation on the
electrical system, disconnect the nega-
tive battery cable;
❒
make sure battery terminals are fully
tightened. Incorrect assembly of electric
and electronic devices may
cause severe damage to your
car. Go to a Fiat Dealership if
you want to install accessories (anti-
theft device, mobile phone, etc.): they
will suggest the most suitable devices
and advise you if a higher-capacity bat-
tery needs to be installed.
Batteries contain substances
that can be very harmful to
the environment. It is advis-
able to have the battery
changed by a Fiat Dealership, where
it will be disposed of properly and in
accordance with the law. 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.
WARNING
If you have to perform any
operation on the battery or
near it, always protect your eyes with
special goggles.
