Batteries contain substances that can be
very dangerous for the environment. It is
advisable to have the battery changed by
an Abarth Dealership, where it will be disposed
of correctly and in accordance with nature and
the law.
If the vehicle must remain unused for a
long time at very low temperatures,
remove the battery and take it to a warm place
to avoid freezing.
WARNING
If you have to perform any operation on
the battery or near it, always protect
your eyes with special goggles.
WARNING
USEFUL ADVICE FOR EXTENDING
THE LIFE OF YOUR BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery and make it last longer,
observe the following instructions:
❒when you park the car, ensure that the doors,
tailgate and flaps are closed properly, to prevent any
light from switching on inside the passenger’s
compartment;
❒the courtesy lights must be off. The car is however
provided with an automatic system for switching off
internal lights;
❒do not keep accessories (e.g. sound system, hazard
warning lights, etc...) switched on for a long time
when the engine is not running;
❒before performing any operation on the electric
system, disconnect the negative battery cable;
❒make sure that the battery terminals are fully
tightened.
