3. Disconnect the black cable terminal of the battery charger and then the red cable
terminal.
4. Refit the protective cover of the positive terminal of the battery and the access cover
to the battery compartment.
NOTE:
If a "quick-type" battery charger is used with the
battery fitted on the vehicle, before connecting it
disconnect both cables of the battery itself. Do
not use a "quick-type" battery charger to provide
the starting voltage.
VEHICLE MAINTENANCE
The following pages contain instructions on the
required maintenance from the technical
personnel who designed the vehicle.
In addition to these specific maintenance
instructions specified for routine scheduled
servicing, there are other components which may
require periodic maintenance or replacement
over the vehicle’s life cycle.
ENGINE OIL
Engine Oil Level Check
To ensure correct engine lubrication, the oil must
always be kept at the prescribed level
Ú
page 204.
Check the oil level at regular intervals, for
example every 1,864 miles (3,000 km).
It must be checked about five minutes after
stopping the engine.
Full operating temperature must be reached. The
vehicle must also be parked on as level a surface
as possible. The engine oil level can be checked using the
Information and Entertainment system. To
access the function, activate the main menu
(MENU button) and select the following options in
sequence:
1. “Vehicle Information”
2. “Engine Oil”
Ensure that the oil level is within the interval on
the dipstick between the minimum and maximum
limits (Quadrifoglio only).
Changing The Engine Oil
For the correct servicing intervals
Ú
page 200.
Choice Of Engine Oil Type
To ensure optimal performance and maximum
protection in all operating conditions, it is advised
to use certified engine oils
Ú
page 252.
Additives For Engine Oil
It is strongly recommended not to use additives
(other than leak detection dyes) with the engine
oil.
The engine oil is a product designed especially for
the vehicle, and its performance may be deteri -
orated through the use of further additives.
Disposal Of Used Engine Oil And Filters
For the disposal of the engine oil and filters,
contact the appropriate body to determine local
regulations.
NOTE:
Incorrectly disposed used engine oil may seri -
ously harm the environment.
ENGINE OIL FILTER
Replacing the Engine Oil Filter
The engine oil filter must be replaced each time
the engine oil is changed. It is advised to replace
it with a genuine spare part, specifically designed
for this vehicle.
ENGINE AIR CLEANER FILTER
Replacing the Engine Air Cleaner Filter
For the correct servicing intervals
Ú
page 200. It
is advised to replace the engine air cleaner filter
with a genuine spare part, specifically designed
for this vehicle.
AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
M
AINTENANCE
To ensure the best possible performance, the air
conditioning system must be checked and
undergo maintenance at an authorized dealer at
the beginning of the summer.
CAUTION!
Do not use chemicals to clean the air
conditioning system, since the internal
components may be damaged. This kind of
damage is not covered by warranty.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
214
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
Use only a transmission oil with the character-
istics indicated
Ú
page 252.
Special Additives
Do not use any type of additive with the
automatic transmission oil. The automatic
transmission oil is a product designed especially
for this vehicle and its performance may be
compromised through the use of further
additives. Frequency of Oil Changes
In normal vehicle operating conditions, it is not
necessary to change the transmission oil.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
If necessary, replace the battery with another
battery with the same specifications. It is advised
to contact an authorized dealer for replacement.
NOTE:
Each time the 12 Volt battery is reconnected,
cycle the steering wheel all the way to the left.
Then cycle the steering wheel all the way to the
right to allow the steering angle sensor to learn
the steering angle thresholds.
Follow the battery manufacturer's instructions for
maintenance.
NOTE:
It will not be possible to open the liftgate with a
key or by pushing the button in the passenger
compartment when the battery is disconnected. Always position the manual liftgate opening strap
on the liftgate lock before disconnecting the
battery. The procedure is described in the
“Liftgate Emergency Opening”
Ú
page 62.
FUSES
General Information
The fuses protect electrical systems against
excessive current.
When a device does not work, you must check the
electrical circuit inside of the fuse for a break/
melt.
Also, please be aware that using power outlets for
extended periods of time with the engine off may
result in vehicle battery discharge.
Blade Fuses
To avoid contamination from foreign matter
or moisture, use only new brake fluid or fluid
that has been in a tightly closed container.
Keep the master cylinder reservoir cap
secured at all times. Brake fluid in an open
container absorbs moisture from the air
resulting in a lower boiling point. This may
cause it to boil unexpectedly during hard or
prolonged braking, resulting in sudden brake
failure. This could result in a collision.
Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir can result
in spilling brake fluid on hot engine parts,
causing the brake fluid to catch fire. Brake
fluid can also damage painted and vinyl
surfaces, care should be taken to avoid its
contact with these surfaces.
Do not allow petroleum-based fluid to
contaminate the brake fluid. Brake seal
components could be damaged, causing
partial or complete brake failure. This could
result in a collision.
WARNING! CAUTION!
Do not use chemical flushes in your
transmission as the chemicals can damage your
transmission components. Such damage is not
covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
CAUTION!
If a transmission fluid leak occurs, visit an
authorized dealer immediately. Severe
transmission damage may occur. An
authorized dealer has the proper tools to
adjust the fluid level accurately.
