STARTING 
THE ENGINE
EMERGENCY START
Go to a Fiat Dealership immediately if
warning light Ycomes on steady on the
instrument panel.
STARTING THE ENGINE
WITH THE AUXILIARY
BATTERY
If the battery is down, the engine can be
started using an auxiliary battery having
the same capacity, or higher.
For engine starting follow the procedure
below, fig. 1.
❒Connect positive terminals (+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 vehicle to be start-
ed.
❒Start the engine.
❒When the engine has been started, fol-
low the sequence above in reverse or-
der to remove the leads.If after a few attempts the engine will not
start, do not insist but contact the near-
est Fiat 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 vehicle, prevent acci-
dental contact between metallic parts of
the two vehicles.BUMP STARTING
Never jump start the engine by pushing,
towing or driving downhill. This could
cause a flow of fuel into the catalytic con-
verter and damage it beyond repair.
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.
Never use a quick battery
charger for emergency start
operations: this might dam-
age the electronic system and
the engine start/supply control units.
This procedure must be per-
formed by expert personnel
because incorrect actions may cause
electrical discharge of considerable in-
tensity. Furthermore, battery fluid is
poisonous and corrosive: avoid contact
with your skin and eyes. Keep naked
flames away from the battery. No
smoking. Do not cause sparks.

CHECKING
FLUID LEVELS
Do not smoke while working
on the engine compartment.
Flammable gases may be present. Risk
of fire.
WARNING
Be careful not to confuse the
various types of fluids while
topping up: they are incom-
patible. For this reason, the
vehicle may be seriously damaged.

MAINTENANCE
AND CARE 
The brake fluid is poisonous
and highly corrosive. In case
of accidental contact, wash the parts
with water and mild soap and rinse
with plenty of water. If swallowed im-
mediately call a doctor.
WARNING
The symbol πon the con-
tainer indicates a synthetic
brake fluid, which is different from a
mineral fluid. Use of a mineral type
fluid will damage the special rubber
seals of the braking system beyond re-
pair.
WARNINGPOWER STEERING 
SYSTEM FLUID
Unscrew the cap A-fig. 8. Check that the
fluid contained in the tank is between the
MINand MAXlevels visible on the reser-
voir. The level may go over the MAXline
when the oil is hot.
If topping up is required, make sure the
new oil has the same specifications as that
already in the system.
fig. 8F0T0081m
Prevent power steering fluid
from coming into contact
with hot engine parts: it is flammable.
WARNING
Oil consumption is extremely
low. If another top-up is re-
quired after only a short pe-
riod of time, have the system
checked for leakage at a Fiat Dealer-
ship.
