IMPORTANT - Battery
The charge in the battery should be checked at the
start of winter to limit the risk of electrolyte freezing.
This check should be carried out more frequently if
the car is used mainly for short trips, or if it is fitted
with accessories that permanently absorb electricity
even with the ignition key removed, especially in the
case of after market accessories. If the car is used in
hot climates or particularly harsh conditions it is wise
to check the level of the battery fluid (electrolyte)
more frequently than specified in the “Service
schedule” in this section.
Car maintenance should be entrusted to Fiat Dealership. For routine and minor maintenance
operations you wish to carry out yourself, always make sure you have the proper equipment,
genuine Fiat spare parts and the necessary fluids; do not however carry out these operations if you
have no experience.
