Useful Advice to Extend
Battery Life
When parking the vehicle, make sure
that the doors, hood, liftgate and flaps
are properly closed. All interior lights
should be off.
When the engine is turned off, do not
keep the connected devices switched
on for a long time (such as radio,
hazard warning flashers, fan, etc.).
If the battery charge remains below
50% for a long period of time, it will
be damaged due to sulfation; its
performance and starting power will
be reduced and it will be more subject
to freezing.
We recommend you to have the
battery charge condition checked,
preferably at the beginning of the cold
season, to prevent the electrolyte from
freezing.

This check should be carried out more
frequently if the vehicle is used mainly
for short trips or if it is equipped
flash for about 10
with power-absorbing devices that
remain permanently on even when
the ignition device is off. This applies
above all if these devices have been
retrofitted ("Aftermarket" services).
If the vehicle is not used for long
periods of time, please see "Vehicle
Stored for Long Periods" in this
