RECHARGING THE BATTERY
IMPORTANT The battery recharging procedure is pro-
vided for information purposes only. You are recom-
mended to go to a Fiat Dealership to have this operation
performed.
We recommend recharging the battery slowly for ap-
proximately 24 hours at low amperage. A prolonged
recharge might damage the battery.
Charge the battery as follows:
F0V0209m
fig. 177b
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 dis-
connecting it from the battery;
❒ reconnect negative battery terminal.
IF THE START&STOP SYSTEM IS INSTALLED
Versions with dummy pole fig. 177b
❒ 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 bat-
tery terminal C and should never be disconnected ex-
cept for when the battery is actually replaced;
❒ connect the positive cable of the charger to the posi-
tive pole 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 quick
release negative A to the dummy terminal B.
