located in the engine compartment

auxiliary battery or a battery from

Battery State of Charge
To avoid problems with ignition and/or
the electrical system in general when
you are driving, the battery charge
status is constantly maintained and
guaranteed by the vehicle's recharge
circuit; the main component of which
is the alternator. This circuit is only
able to supply voltage to the battery
when the vehicle is travelling.
The warning light on the
instrument cluster, will indicate any
malfunctions in the recharge circuit or
an insufficient battery charge status
(example in figure).
The vehicle contains advanced
electronic systems, such as, for
example, the alarm system and various
electronic control modules, which
consume power even when the
ignition device is in the OFF position
and the vehicle is not being used.
Therefore, it is fundamental that the
battery is properly charged to ensure
that the engine starts properly and
that all the electrical/electronic systems
in the vehicle work efficiently.
Maintenance and Care
To Disconnect the Battery
The battery is located on the inner
right side of the boot compartment.
To access the battery it is necessary to
lift the ground coverage of the boot
compartment (see chapter "Tool Kit"
in section "In an Emergency") and
remove the storage box.
