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:
without Start&Stop system:
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.with Start&Stop system:fig. 176
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 E of the battery and the negative
cable to the dummy negative terminal B;
turn on the charger;
when you have recharged, turn the charger off
before disconnecting it from the battery;
after disconnecting the charger, reconnect the
negative quick release negative terminal A from

SERVICING AND CARE
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct 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 30,000/35,000 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 30,000/35,000 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.
