IMPORTANT
37) Incorrect assembly of electrical
and electronic devices may cause
severe damage to your vehicle.
Contact a Fiat Dealership if you
want to install accessories
(alarms, radiophone, etc.): they
will suggest the most suitable
devices and advise you if a higher
capacity battery needs to be
installed.
38) If the vehicle needs to be off the
road for a long period under
conditions of intense cold, remove
the battery and take it to a
heated location, otherwise it may
freeze.
IMPORTANT
5) Batteries contain substances
which are very dangerous for the
environment. To replace your
battery, we recommend
contacting your Fiat Dealership to
dispose of your old battery in full
respect of the environment and in
compliance with all applicable
laws and regulations.
BATTERY
RECHARGING
IMPORTANT The battery recharging
procedure is given as information
only. This operation should be
performed at a Fiat Dealership.
Charging should be slow at a low
ampere rating for approximately 24
hours. Charging for a long time
may damage the battery.
To recharge, proceed as follows:
IN THE ABSENCE OF
THE START&STOP
SYSTEM
❒disconnect the terminal from the
negative battery pole;
❒connect the charger cables to the
battery terminals, observing the
poles;
❒turn on the charger;
❒when you have finished, turn the
charger off before disconnecting
it from the battery;
❒reconnect the negative battery
terminal.

SYSTEM

❒disconnect the quick release negative
terminal A from the dummy negative
terminal B; this is because a battery
status monitoring sensor D is fitted
on the negative battery terminal
C and should never be disconnected
except for when the battery is
actually replaced;
❒connect the positive cable of the
charger to the positive pole of the
battery and the negative cable to the
dummy negative terminal B;
❒turn on the charger;
❒after the recharge, turn the charger
off before disconnecting it from the
battery;❒after disconnecting the battery
charger, reconnect the quick-release
negative terminal A to the dummy
pole B.
Versions without dummy pole
fig. 214
To recharge proceed as follows,
paying great care:
❒press button A to detach connector
B from battery status monitoring
sensor C (this is located on the
negative pole of the battery itself);
❒connect the positive cable (+) of the
battery charger to the battery positive
terminal (+);
❒connect the negative cable (–) of the
battery charger to the pin D of the
negative battery terminal (–);
❒turn on the charger;❒when you have finished, turn the
charger off before disconnecting
it from the battery;
❒reconnect the connector B to the
sensor C of the battery.

WARNING
136) Battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive: avoid contact with
your skin and eyes. The battery
recharging operation must be
performed in a ventilated place,
away from naked flames or
possible sources of sparks to
avoid the risk of explosion and
fire.
137) Don't try to recharge a frozen
battery: it must be thawed first,
otherwise it may explode. If the
battery was frozen, have it
inspected by specialised
personnel before recharging to
check that the internal elements
are not damaged and that the
casing is not cracked, which
causes the risk of leakage
of poisonous, corrosive acid.213F0V0381

The tyres must be replaced when
the tread is less than 1.6 mm thick.
In any case, follow the laws in force
in the country you are in.
IMPORTANT
❒As far as possible, avoid sharp
braking, screech starts and violent
shocks against pavements, potholes
or other hard obstacles. Driving for
long stretches over bumpy roads can
damage the tyres;
❒periodically check that the tyres have
no cuts in the side wall, abnormal
swelling or irregular tyre wear.
Contact a Fiat Dealership if required;
❒avoid overloading the vehicle when
travelling: this may cause serious
damage to the wheels and tyres;
❒if a tyre is punctured, stop
immediately and change it to avoid
damage to the tyre, the rim,
suspensions and steering system;
❒tyres age even if they are not used
much. Cracks in the tread and on
the side walls are a sign of ageing.
Have the tyres checked by
specialised personnel if they have
been fitted for longer than 6 years.
Remember to check the spare wheel
very carefully;❒in the case of replacement, always fit
new tyres, avoiding those of
unknown origin;
❒If a tyre is changed, also change the
inflation valve;
❒to allow even wear between the front
and rear tyres, it is advisable to
change them over every 10-15
thousand kilometres, keeping them
on the same side of the vehicle so as
not to reverse the direction of
rotation.
139) 140) 141) 142)
WARNING
139) Remember that the road
holding qualities of your vehicle
also depend on the correct
inflation pressure of the tyres.
140) If tyre pressure is too low, the
tire may overheat and be severely
damaged as a result.
141) Do not switch tyres from the
righthand side of the vehicle to
the lefthand side, and vice versa.142) Never submit alloy rims to
repainting treatments requiring
the use of temperatures
exceeding 150°C. The mechanical
properties of the wheels could
be impaired.

4. Do not travel with a heavy load:
the weight of the vehicle (especially
when driving in town) and its trim
greatly affect fuel consumption and
stability.
5. Remove roof racks or ski racks
after use. These accessories reduce
the vehicle's aerodynamic
penetration and have a negative
effect on fuel consumption.
6. When transporting particularly
large objects, use a trailer if
possible.
7. Use the vehicle's air vents if
possible: travelling with the windows
open impairs aerodynamics.
8. Use electrical devices only for the
amount of time needed. The
vehicle’s heated rear window,
additional headlights, screen wipers
and heater fan require a
considerable amount of energy;
increasing the current uptake
increases fuel consumption (by up
to +25% in an urban cycle).
9. Air conditioning leads to higher
fuel consumption (on average up to
+30%). If the temperature outside
is not too extreme, try and use
the air vents.Driving style
1. After starting the engine you
should drive away immediately and
slowly, avoiding high revs. Do not
warm up the engine at low or high
revs when the vehicle is stationary;
this causes the engine to warm
up more slowly, thereby increasing
fuel consumption, emissions and
mechanical component wear.
2. Avoid pointless actions such as
revving up when at traffic lights
or before stopping the engine. The
latter action, like double-
declutching, is unnecessary and
causes increased fuel consumption
and pollution.
3. Gear selection: select a high gear
as soon as possible (taking into
account normal engine operation
and traffic conditions) without
pushing the engine to high revs
during the intermediate gears. Using
low gears at high revs to get lively
acceleration increases fuel
consumption, harmful emissions
and engine wear.4. Vehicle speed: fuel consumption
increases exponentially as the speed
of the vehicle increases. Keep your
speed moderate and as even as
possible, avoiding unnecessary
braking and acceleration, which
cause excessive fuel consumption
and increased emissions. Keeping a
safe distance from the vehicle in
front helps to maintain a steady
speed.
5. Acceleration: accelerating
violently severely affects
consumption and emissions.
Acceleration should be gradual and
should not exceed the maximum
engine torque rate.
