started using an auxiliary battery with the
same capacity or a little higher than the
flat one.

ENGINE STARTING
If the instrument panel warning light Yturns on glowing steadily, contact im-
mediately Abarth Dealership.
Never use a quick battery
charger for the emergency
start: this might damage the
electronic system and the en-
gine start/supply control units.
This procedure must be per-
formed by expert personnel
because incorrect actions may cause
electrical discharge of considerable
intensity. Furthermore, battery fluid
is poisonous and corrosive: avoid con-
tact with your skin and eyes. Keep
naked flames away from the battery.
No smoking. Do not cause sparks.

Remove dust with a soft brush or a vacu-
um cleaner. It is advisable to use a moist
brush on velvet upholstery.
Rub the seats with a sponge moistened
with a solution of water and neutral de-
tergent.INTERIOR PLASTIC PARTS
It is advisable to clean interior parts with
a moist cloth and a solution of water and
mild soap. Use specific products for clean-
ing plastic, without solvents and specifically
designed to prevent damage to the ap-
pearance and colour of the treated parts
to remove grease and tough stains.
IMPORTANT Never use spirit or petro-
leum to clean the instrument panel.
Don’t keep aerosol cans in

Aerosol cans must not be exposed to
a temperature exceeding 50°C. When
