HIGH-VOLTAGE BATTERY
The high-voltage battery is located at
the bottom of the vehicle in a central
area and is maintenance-free.
The high-voltage battery is lithium-ion.
Lithium-ion batteries provide the
following benefits:
are much lighter than other types of
chargeable batteries of the same size;
keep the charge longer;
have no memory, i.e. it is not
necessary to discharge them
completely before recharging, as is the
case with other types of batteries;
can be recharged and discharged,
charging times vary depending on
home or public charging mode and
power.
The high-voltage battery is equipped
with conditioning systems that ensure
that it operates under the best
temperature conditions appropriate to
its operation.
The traction battery's range varies
depending on the type of driving, the
route, the use of thermal comfort
equipment and the ageing of its
components.
NOTE The traction battery ageing
depends on several factors, such as
climatic conditions and the distance
travelled.

DISPOSAL
The high-voltage battery is designed
to last for the lifetime of the car. If it
is necessary to replace the battery,
please contact a Fiat Dealership for
information on disposal.
NOTE The car is provided with a
high-voltage lithium-ion battery.
Inappropriate disposal of this type
of battery carries a risk of serious
burns, electric shock and damage
to the environment. In accordance
with national and international
battery regulations, the Manufacturer
guarantees an adequate collection of
this component in cooperation with
qualified operators for the proper
handling of the batteries to be disposed
of.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The car is also equipped with a battery
management system designed to:
ensure safe operation
optimise driving range
optimise the working life of the high-
voltage battery
If the temperature of the high-voltage
battery is below -10°C, or above 40°C,
some car functions may change or turn
off as battery performance decreases
outside this temperature range.
OPERATING MODE
As with a car with automatic
transmission, you must get used to
not using your left foot to activate the
clutch pedal which is not present. While
driving, when you lift your foot off the
accelerator pedal or when you press
the brake pedal during deceleration,
the motor generates electric current
which is used to brake the car and
recharge the high-voltage battery.

"TURTLE" MODE
If the lamp is lit on the instrument
panel display, the state of charge of
the high-voltage battery is critical, the
engine power gradually decreases and
the range is limited. Put the vehicle
on charge. If, after the charging the
warning lamp remains lit, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
IMPORTANT
1)
The propulsion system of the electric
car is connected by the high-voltage
battery and when the system is active the
components are then powered at high-
voltage. Observe the warning messages
on the labels on the car when accessing
the motor compartment. Any intervention
or modification on the high-voltage
electrical system of the car (components,
cables, connectors, high-voltage battery) is
