MAINTENANCE
Incorrect fitting of electrical and electronic accessories can seriously damage the car. If after buying
the car, you want to install electric accessories which require permanent electric supply (alarm,
sound system, free-hand phone kit, etc.) contact Fiat Dealership whose qualified personnel, in
addition to suggesting the most suitable devices, will evaluate the overall electric absorption,
checking whether the car’s electric system is capable of withstanding the load required, or whether
it should be integrated with a more powerful battery.
WARNING
When working on the battery or near it, always wear the proper goggles.
WARNING
Running the battery with low fluid level can damage the battery beyond repair and
could also cause its explosion.
CHANGING THE BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with a genuine spare
part having the same specifications. If a battery with
different specifications is fitted, the service intervals
given in the “Service Schedule” in this section will no
longer be valid. Refer to the instructions provided by
the battery’s Manufacturer.
WARNING
If the car is left inactive for long periods at cold, remove the battery and store it in
a warm place to prevent freezing.
