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.
