STARTING THE ENGINE

EMERGENCY STARTING

If the instrument panel warning light

stays on perma-

nently, contact a Fiat Dealership immediately.

JUMP STARTING fig. 150

If the battery is flat, the engine may be started using an aux-

iliary battery with an equal or slightly higher capacity than the

flat one. It is advisable to contact a Fiat Dealership so the bat-

tery can be checked/replaced.

IN AN EMERGENCY

In an emergency we recommend that you call the freephone number found in the Warranty Booklet. You can

also go to the www.fiat.com website to find your nearest Fiat Dealership.

This procedure must be performed by ex-

perts because incorrect actions may cause

considerable electrical discharge. Furthermore,

battery fluid is poisonous and corrosive: avoid con-

tact with skin and eyes. Keep naked flames and

lit cigarettes away from the battery. Do not cre-

ate sparks.

WARNING

Proceed as follows to start the car:

❒

connect the positive terminals (+ sign near the termi-

nal) of the two batteries with a jump lead;

❒

with a second lead, connect the negative terminal (–) of

the auxiliary battery to an earthing point

on the en-

gine or the gearbox of the car to be started;

❒

start the engine;

❒

when the engine has been started, follow the sequence

above in reverse order to remove the leads.

If after a few attempts the engine does not start, do not

keep trying but contact a Fiat Dealership.
