When working on the
battery or near it, always
wear the proper goggles.

damage the battery be-
yond repair and could also cause

If the car is left inactive
for long periods at cold,
remove the battery and
store it in a warm place to pre-
vent freezing.
Do not attempt to
recharge a frozen bat-
tery. Thaw it first other-
wise it could explode. If the bat-
tery froze, make sure the inter-
nal elements are not broken
(short-circuit risk) and that the
casing is not cracked (risk of
spilling the poisonous and corro-
sive fluid).
Incorrect fitting of elec-
trical and electronic ac-
cessories can seriously
damage the vehicle. If after buy-
ing the car, you want to install
other accessories, contact a Fiat
Dealership whose qualified per-
sonnel, in addition to suggesting
the most suitable devices, will
evaluate whether the car's elec-
tric system should be integrated
with a more powerful battery.
