2017 FIAT FULLBACK battery capacity

Something is wrong with the cigarette
lighter if it does not pop back out within
approximately 30 seconds of being
pushed in. Pull it out and have the
problem corrected at Fiat Dealership.
When the cigarette lighter socket is
used as a power source for an electric
appliance, be sure that the electric
appliance operates at 12 V and has an
electric capacity of 120 W or less. In
addition, long use of the electric
appliance without running the engine
may run down the battery.
ACCESSORY SOCKET
(where provided)
The accessory socket can be used
while the ignition switch or the
operation mode is in ON or ACC. To
use a plug-in type accessory, open the
lid, and insert the plug in the accessory
socket.

BATTERY
4)
The condition of the battery is very
important for quick starting of the
engine and proper functioning of the
vehicle’s electrical system. Regular
inspection and care are especially
important in cold weather.

Checking battery electrolyte level
The electrolyte level must be between
the specified limit on the outside of the
battery. Replenish with distilled water as
necessary. The inside of the battery is
divided into several compartments;
remove the cap from each
compartment and fill to the upper mark.
Do not top up beyond the upper mark
because spillage during driving could
cause damage.Check the electrolyte level at least once
every four weeks, depending on the
operating conditions. If the battery is
not used, it will discharge by itself with
time.
Check it once every four weeks and
charge with low current as necessary.
During cold weather
The capacity of the battery is reduced
at low temperatures. This is an
inevitable result of its chemical and
physical properties. This is why a very
cold battery, particularly one that is not
fully charged will only deliver a fraction
of the starter current which is normally
available.
We recommend you to have the battery
checked before the start of cold
weather and, if necessary, have it
charged or replaced. This does not only
ensure reliable starting, but a battery
which is kept fully charged also has a
longer life.
Disconnection and connection
188) 189) 190) 191) 192) 193) 194) 195)
To disconnect the battery cable, stop
the engine, first disconnect the negative
(-) terminal and then the positive (+)
terminal. When connecting the battery,
first connect the positive (+) terminal
and then the negative (-) terminal.
NOTE Open the terminal cover (A)
before disconnecting or connecting the
positive (+) terminal of the battery.NOTE Loosen the nut (B), and then
disconnect the battery cable from the
positive (+) terminal.
NOTE Keep the terminals clean. After
the battery is connected, apply terminal
protection grease. To clean the
terminals, use lukewarm water.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

NOTE Check to see if the battery is
securely installed and cannot be moved
during travel. Also check each terminal
for tightness.
NOTE When the vehicle is to be left
unused for a long period of time,
remove the battery and store it in a
place where the battery fluid will not
freeze. The battery should be stored
only in a fully charged condition.
WARNING
375)Battery liquid is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with skin and
eyes. Keep naked flames and sources of
sparks away from the battery: risk of
explosion and fire.
376)Before performing any operation on
the electrical system, disconnect the
negative battery cable through the suitable
terminal, after having waited at least one
minute from turning the ignition key to
STOP.
377)Keep sparks, cigarettes, and flames
away from the battery because the battery
could explode.
378)The battery electrolyte is extremely
caustic. Do not allow it to come in contact
with your eyes, skin, clothing, or the
painted surfaces of the vehicle. Spilt
electrolyte should be flushed immediately
with ample amounts of water. Irritation to
eyes or skin from contact with electrolyte
requires immediate medical attention.
379)Ventilate when charging or using the
battery in an enclosed space.380)Always wear protective eye goggles
when working near the battery.
381)Keep it out of reach of children.
382)Using the battery with insufficient fluid
irreparably damages the battery and may
cause an explosion.
IMPORTANT
188)Incorrect assembly of electrical and
electronic devices may cause severe
damage to your vehicle. Contact a Fiat
Dealership if you want to install accessories
after purchasing the vehicle (alarms,
radiophone, etc.): they will suggest the
most suitable devices and advise you
whether a higher capacity battery needs to
be installed.
189)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.
190)Do not bring the nearby parts, the
plastic parts and so on into contact with
sulphuric acid (battery electrolyte) which
may crack, stain or discolour them. If they
are in contact, wipe off with soft cloth,
chamois or the like and an aqueous
solution of neutral detergent then
immediately rinse the affected parts with
plenty of water.
191)If the vehicle must remain unused for
a long time at a very low temperature,
remove the battery and take it to a warm
place, to avoid freezing.192)Never disconnect the battery when
the ignition switch or the operation mode is
in the “ON” position; doing so could
damage the vehicle’s electrical
components.
193)Never short-circuit the battery. This
could cause it to overheat and be
damaged.
194)If the battery is to be quick-charged,
first disconnect the battery cables.
195)In order to prevent a short circuit, be
sure to disconnect the negative (-) terminal
first.
IMPORTANT
4)Batteries contain substances which are
very dangerous for the environment. For
battery replacement, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
