IN AN
EMERGENCY
Proceed as follows:
❒Connect positive terminals (+ sign near
the terminal) of the two batteries with
a jump lead;
❒With a second lead, connect the nega-
tive terminal (–) of the auxiliary battery
to an earthing point
Eon the engine or
the gearbox of the car to be started;
❒Start the engine;
❒When the engine has been started, re-
move the leads reversing the order
above.If after a few attempts the engine does not
start, do not insist any further but contact
the nearest Abarth Dealership.
IMPORTANT Never connect the negative
terminals of the two batteries directly:
sparks could ignite explosive gas released
from the battery. If the auxiliary battery is
installed on another car, prevent acciden-
tal contact between metallic parts of the
two cars.BUMP STARTING
Never jump start the engine by pushing,
towing or driving downhill.
This could cause a flow of fuel into the cat-
alytic converter and damage it beyond re-
pair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the brake
booster and the power steering system
are not operating until the engine is start-
ed, a greater effort will therefore be re-
quired to press the brake pedal or turn
the steering wheel.
