RECHARGING THE BATTERYIMPORTANT The battery recharging procedure is
provided for information purposes only. You are
recommended to go to a Fiat Dealership to have this
operation performed.
We recommend recharging the battery slowly for
approximately 24 hours at low amperage. A
prolonged recharge might damage the battery.
Charge the battery as follows:
❒disconnect battery negative terminal;
❒connect the charger cables to the battery
terminals, observing the polarity;
❒turn on the charger;
❒when you have finished, turn the charger off before
disconnecting it from the battery;
❒reconnect battery negative terminal.
WARNING
Battery fluid is poisonous and corrosive:
avoid contact with your skin and eyes.
The batter y must be recharged in a ventilated
place away from naked flames or possible
sources of sparks to avoid the risk of explosion
and fire.
WARNING
Do not tr y to recharge a frozen batter y;
defrost it first to prevent the risk of
explosion. 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 could cause poisonous, corrosive
acid to leak.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULED SERVICINGCorrect servicing is essential for ensuring long
vehicle life under the best conditions.
This is why Fiat has planned a series of checks and
services every 30,000 km.
It is, however, important to remember that
scheduled servicing does not completely cover all the
requirements of the vehicle: even in the initial period
before 30,000 km, and then subsequently, between
one service and another, ordinary care is always
required such as routine checks involving topping up
fluid levels, checking tyre pressures etc.
IMPORTANT The Scheduled Servicing coupons are
set out by the Manufacturer. Failure to comply
with the schedule may invalidate the warranty.Scheduled Servicing is performed by all Fiat
Dealerships, at pre-established times.
If, during any service, the need arises for additional
replacements or repairs, these may be carried out
only with the explicit agreement of the Customer.
IMPORTANT It is advisable to inform a Fiat
Dealership of any small operating irregularities
without waiting for the next service.
The interval between scheduled services must be
reduced if your vehicle is used frequently for towing
trailers.
