AIR CLEANER/ POLLEN FILTER
Have the air cleaner or the pollen filter replaced by a
Fiat Dealership.
BATTERY
The battery is of the “limited maintenance” type:
under normal conditions of use, the electrolyte does
not need topping up with distilled water.
It does, however, need to be checked regularly at a
Fiat Dealership or by specialist personnel to make
sure it is working properly.
WARNING
The battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with the skin
and eyes. Keep naked flames and sources of
sparks away from the battery: risk of explosion
and fire.
WARNING
Running the battery with an excessively
low liquid level will damage the battery
beyond repair and even cause an explosion.

REPLACING THE BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with an original spare
part with the same specifications.
If a battery with different specifications is fitted, the
service intervals given in the “Scheduled Servicing
Plan” will no longer be valid.
Follow the battery manufacturer's instructions for
maintenance.
Incorrect assembly of electric and
electronic devices may cause severe
damage to your vehicle. Go to a Fiat
Dealership if you want to install accessories
(alarms, mobile phone, etc .): they will suggest the
most suitable devices and advise you if a higher
capacity batter y needs to be installed.
Batteries contain substances that are very
harmful to the environment .You are
recommended to go to a Fiat Dealership
to have the batter y replaced where the old
battery will be disposed of respecting both the
environment and the laws in force.
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 place, otherwise it may freeze.
WARNING
When performing any operation on the
battery or near it , always protect your
eyes with the special goggles.
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 vehicle, ensure the doors, boot
and bonnet are closed properly so that the ceiling
lights do not stay on;
turn off the ceiling lights, although the car does
have an automatic system for switching off internal
lights;
do not keep accessories (e.g. sound system,
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 battery negative cable;
make sure that battery terminals are always be
perfectly tight.
IMPORTANT If the battery remains with the charge
below 50% for a long time it becomes damaged
through sulphation and its starting capacity is
reduced.
The battery is also more prone to the risk of freezing
(at temperatures as high as -10°C).
