SERVICE

INFORMATION

CHARGING THE

CONVENTIONAL 12V

BATTERY

In order to ensure economical and

safe vehicle operation and to maintain

the value of your vehicle, it is of vital

importance that all maintenance work

is carried out at the proper intervals as

specified.

For optimum service life of the battery,

it is essential to maintain an adequate

state of charge.

In some circumstances, it may be

necessary to charge the battery:

when using the vehicle mainly for

short journeys

if the vehicle is to be taken off the

road for several weeks

Consult a Fiat Dealership.

The conventional battery terminals

are marked with the positive (+) and

negative (-) terminal symbols, and are

shown on the cover of the battery itself.

The battery terminals must also be

corrosion-free and firmly secured

to the terminals. If a "quick-type"

conventional battery charger is used

with the battery fitted on the car, before

connecting it disconnect both cables of

the conventional battery itself. Do not

use a "quick-type" battery charger to

provide the starting voltage.

The detailed, up-to-date service

schedule for your vehicle is available at

the Fiat Dealership.

Severe operating conditions exist if one

or more of the following circumstances

occur frequently: Cold starting, stop

and go operation, e.g. for taxis and

police vehicles, trailer operation,

mountain driving, driving on poor and

sandy road surfaces, increased air

pollution, presence of airborne sand

and high dust content, driving at

high altitude and large variations of

temperature.

WARNINGS

WARNING After setting the ignition

device to STOP and closing the driver's

door, wait at least one minute before

disconnecting the electrical supply

from the conventional battery. When

reconnecting the electrical supply to

the conventional battery, make sure

that the ignition device is in the STOP

position and the driver's door is closed.

CHARGING THE

BATTERY USING A

BATTERY CHARGER

WARNING To charge the vehicle's

battery yourself, use only a charger

compatible with lead-acid batteries with

a nominal voltage of 12 V.

Under these severe operating

conditions, certain service work may

be required more frequently than the

regular service interval indicated in

the service display. Contact a Fiat

Dealership for customised service

schedules.

WARNING Charging should be

slow at a low ampere rating for

approximately 24 hours. Regardless

of the duration of the operation, it is

always recommended to disconnect

the battery from the device as soon as

charging is complete to avoid potential

damage.

WARNING Follow the instructions

cooling tank, the refilling shall only be

performed in a qualified and trained

workshop to verify that the leakage is not

in the traction battery. Any intervention on

the high voltage system must be carried

out by qualified persons in workshops

qualified and approved to carry out this

type of work.

316) Take care when working under the

bonnet, as certain areas of the engine may

be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the

cooling fan could start at any time (even

with the ignition off).

323) Brake fluid is poisonous and

corrosive. Avoid contact with eyes, skin,

fabrics and painted surfaces. In the event

of accidental contact, immediately wash

the affected parts with water and mild

soap. Then rinse thoroughly. Call a doctor
