Useful Advice to Extend
Battery Life
When parking the vehicle, make sure
that the doors, front, rear lids 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.).
CAUTION!
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
with power-absorbing devices that
(on
remain permanently on even when
the ignition switch is off. This applies
above all if these devices have been
flash for about 10
retrofitted ("Aftermarket" services).
If the vehicle is not used for long
periods of time, please see "Vehicle
Stored for Long Periods" in this
section.
Battery Recharge
The process of charging or recharging
the battery produces hydrogen, a
flammable gas that can explode and
cause serious injuries. When charging
or recharging the battery, follow the
recommended precautions at all times.
• Before using a charger device always
check that this tool is suitable for
the installed battery, with constant
voltage (lower than 14.0 V) and low
amperage (maximum limit 15 A).
•
Recharge the battery in a well-
ventilated environment.
• Never charge or recharge a frozen
battery.
• Ensure that any sparks or open
flames are kept well away from the
battery while it is charging.
