completely tighten the battery

WARNING After turning the ignition
key to STOP and having closed
the driver side door, wait at least
one minute before disconnecting the
electrical supply from the battery. When
reconnecting the electrical supply to
the battery, make sure that the ignition
key is in the STOP position and the
driver's door is closed.
WARNING If the charge level remains
under 50% for a long time, the battery
326
is damaged by sulphation, reducing its
capacity and efficiency at start-up.The
battery is also more prone to the risk of
freezing (at temperatures as high as -
10°C).Refer to the "Prolonged vehicle
inactivity" chapter in the "Starting and
driving" section if the car is left parked
for a long time.
If, after buying the vehicle, you want
to install electrical accessories which
require permanent electric supply
(alarm, etc.) or accessories that in any
case burden the electrical supply,
contact a Dealership, whose qualified
personnel, in addition to suggesting
the most suitable devices from
Lineaccessori MOPAR, will evaluate
the overall electrical consumption,
checking whether the vehicle electrical
system is capable of withstanding the
load required, or whether it should
be integrated with a more powerful
battery.
Since some of these devices continue
to consume electricity even when the
motor is off, they gradually run down
the battery.
WARNING If a tachograph is fitted, if
the vehicle is parked for a long period
of 5 days, it is advisable to disconnect
the negative battery terminal to
maintain its charge. If the vehicle is
equipped with a battery disconnection
function (disconnector), see the
description of the disconnection
procedure in the "Battery disconnection
function (disconnector)" chapter in the
"Starting and driving" section.

terminal, after having waited at least one
minute from turning the ignition key to
STOP.
