WARNING
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.

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.
