CAR MAINTENANCE
BATTERY
The car fits a low-maintenance bat-
tery: no top-ups with distilled water
are needed in normal conditions of
use.
INSPECTING THE CHARGE
AND THE ELECTROLYTE
LEVEL
Inspection operations must be car-
ried out by specialised personnel, fol-
lowing the prescriptions contained in
the Use and maintenance booklet. Any
top-up operations must be carried out
by specialised personnel and by Fiat
Dealership.
Battery liquid is poiso-
nous and corrosive. Avoid
contact with the skin and
eyes. Keep naked flames and
sources of sparks away from the
battery: risk of explosion and fire.
Running the battery
with an excessively low
liquid level will damage
the battery beyond repair and
even cause an explosion.
CHANGING THE BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with
a genuine spare part having the same
specifications.
If a battery with different specifica-
tions is fitted, the service intervals giv-
en in the “Service schedule” in this
section will no longer be valid.
Refer therefore to the instructions
provided by the battery manufacturer.
