Fuel Cut-Off System - Fiat TIPO 5DOOR 2023 Owner's Handbook Manual

192) The batteries contain acid that can
burn skin or eyes. Batteries produce
hydrogen, which is easily flammable and
explosive. Thus keep away flames or
devices which may cause sparks.
IMPORTANT
74) Never use a fast battery charger to
start the engine as this could damage the
electronic systems, particularly the engine
ignition and fuel supply control units.
75) Do not connect the cable to
the negative terminal (–) of the flat
conventional battery. The following
spark could lead to conventional battery
explosion and cause serious harm. Only
use the specific earth point; do not use
any other exposed metallic part.
