BATTERY
The battery is of the “Limited maintenance” type: under
normal conditions of use the electrolyte does not need
topping up with distilled water.
The battery is located inside the passenger compartment,
in front of the pedals. Remove the protective cover to gain
access to it.
It is advisable to contact a Fiat Dealership to check/replace
the battery.
CHECKING THE CHARGE fig. 222
Use the gauge A (where provided) on the battery lid and
take action according to the colour it assumes. If the bat-
tery lacks a charge status and electrolyte level check device
(optical hydrometer), check operations must be carried out
only by specialised personnel.
To check charge status, open the flap by undoing the two
fastening srews. After checking the charge, close the lid care-
fully avoiding to catch things in between and short circuits.
