RAISING THE CAR

If the car needs to be lifted, go to a Fiat
Dealership which is equipped with the arm
hoist or workshop lift.

The car should be lifted side-on only, by
putting the ends of the arms or the work-
shop lifting device in the areas shown in
the diagram.

Do not try to recharge a frozen
battery; defrost it first to pre-

vent the risk of explosion. If the bat-
tery was frozen, have it inspected by
specialised personnel before recharg-
ing to check that the internal ele-
ments are not damaged and that the
casing is not cracked, which could
cause poisonous, corrosive gas to leak.

WARNING

fig. 42

F0M0513m

Battery fluid is poisonous
and corrosive: avoid contact

with your skin and eyes. The battery
must be recharged in a ventilated
place away from naked flames or
possible sources of sparks to avoid the
risk of explosion and fire.
