Positive under a cap
On the 2021 500X the positive post can hide under a protective cap you lift off. The manual says never to jump off the fuses.
Italian · City CarFiat owners anywhere in Dubai get a free battery test where the car stands, day or night, and a replacement only if it fails. A 2018 Fiat 500 vents its battery through a hose, and its owner's manual allows only a vented replacement of matching type, so that is the one our technician carries.

Nothing is sold before the test. When a new battery is needed, it is matched to your Fiat's model and to the old battery's label. The 500 and the 500X differ in where the battery lives and what each needs, while older and larger Fiats, from the Panda to the Ducato, take their match from the label of the battery they carry.
On the 2018 Fiat 500, the battery sits between the left front headlight assembly and the left front wheel splash shield. The 2021 500X carries it up front in the engine bay, tucked behind the left headlight.

The negative lead goes to bare metal on the engine, frame or chassis, well away from the battery and from fuel injection parts.
Connecting to the discharged battery's negative post can spark and make the battery explode, the manual warns.
No booster pack or source above 12 volts, or the battery, starter motor, alternator or electrical system can be damaged.
The 2021 500X owner's manual says Autostop will not happen while the battery charge is low, or while the battery is hotter or colder than the system allows.
Stop/Start that rarely cuts in is worth a free battery test. If the battery has failed, a Fiat battery replacement follows on the spot, with a battery that matches the original.

More than 20 mobile vans work across Dubai. For a battery call, a technician reaches you in about 25 minutes. The vans cover Al Karama, Dubai South, Business Bay, Downtown Dubai, office car parks, villa communities and highways.
A Fiat battery, fitted, starts at AED 175, and yours depends on what its model takes, such as the vented battery in a 500. The figure is settled in the call before our van sets out, nothing extra is charged for coming to you, and the new battery is backed by our 1-year warranty.
On the 2018 Fiat 500 it sits under the bonnet, between the left front headlight assembly and the left front wheel splash shield, with a protective cover over the positive post. Our technician fits the replacement there, wherever the car is parked, and keeps the vent hose connected as the manual requires.
No. The 2018 Fiat 500 manual says the battery's vent hose must stay connected, with only a vented battery of matching type as its replacement. We check the old battery's label and bring a vented replacement that matches it, not simply one of the right size.
Only when the booster is 12 volts. The 2021 500X manual rules out any booster pack or source above 12 volts, because it can damage the battery, starter motor, alternator or electrical system. Some trucks and buses run 24-volt systems, so a 12-volt booster or a battery test is the safer call.
The 2018 Fiat 500 manual suggests taking the negative cable off the battery if the car will stand unused for more than 21 days. If the battery is still flat when you return, call us: it is tested free on the spot, and replaced only when it fails that test.
