Useful Advice For Extending The Life
Of Your Battery
To avoid draining your battery and make
it last longer, observe the following
instructions:
When you park the vehicle, ensure that
the doors and liftgate are closed properly
to prevent any lights from remaining on
inside the passenger's compartment.
Do not keep accessories (e.g. radio,
hazard warning lights, etc.) switched on for
a long time when the engine is not running.
Before performing any operation on
the electrical system, disconnect the
negative battery cable.
If you wish to install electrical
accessories after purchasing the vehicle
that require permanent electrical supply
(e.g. alarm, etc.), or accessories which
influence the electrical supply
requirements, contact your authorized
dealer, whose qualified staff will evaluate
the overall electrical consumption.
Caution!
If the charge level remains under 50% for a
long time, the battery may be damaged by
sulphation, reducing its capacity and
efficiency at start the vehicle.The battery is
also more prone to the risk of freezing (at
temperatures as high as 14°F (-10°C).
Note:
After the battery is disconnected,
the steering must be initialized.The
warning light on the instrument panel
switches on to indicate this.To carry out
this procedure, simply turn the steering
wheel all the way from one end to the
other, and then turn it back to the central
position.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
The vehicle is equipped with an
Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS), which is
able to measure the charge and discharge
voltage and calculate the charge level
and the general condition of the battery.
The sensor is placed next to the negative
terminal (-) of the battery.
For a correct charge/discharge
procedure, the charge voltage must go
through the IBS sensor.
1. Turn the charger on and follow the
instructions on the user's manual to
completely recharge the battery.
2. When the battery is charged, turn the
charger off before disconnecting it from
the battery.
3. Disconnect the black cable terminal of
the battery charger and then the red
cable terminal.
4. Refit the protective cover of the
positive terminal of the battery and the
