CHARGING THE BATTERY

IMPORTANT The description of the

battery charging procedure is described

only for informative purposes. This opera-

tion should be carried out by Authorized

Alfa Romeo Services.

Charging should be slow at a low amp

rating for about 24 hours. Charging for a

longer time may damage the battery.

Charge the battery as follows:

– If the car is fitted with an alarm sys-

tem, turn off the alarm with the remote

control and deactivate the system turning

the emergency key to “OFF” (see “Elec-

tronic alarm” in the chapter “Getting to

know your car”).

– Disconnect the terminals of the elec-

tric system from the battery poles.

– Connect the charger cables to the bat-

tery.

– Turn on the charger.

– After charging turn off the charger be-

fore disconnecting it from the battery.

– Re-connect the terminals to the bat-

tery poles correctly.

– Turn the ignition key to MAR and

leave it in this position for 30 seconds to

1 minute, then turn to STOP for about 5

to 10 seconds, after which the engine

can be started.

– Remember to reactivate the alarm

system (if present) turning the emer-

gency switch to “ON”.

The wrong electric and

electronic accessory in-

stallation may cause se-

vere vehicle damages.

When doing any work on

the battery or near it, al-

ways wear special protective gog-

gles.

Working with the fluid

level too low damages

the battery irreparably, even

breaking the body and completely

leaking the acid contained.
