27) 28) 29)
WARNING
25)Take care not to knock objects on the
roof rack when opening the tailgate.
26)With the engine on, always make sure
that the tailgate is closed: exhaust gases
could be drawn inside the load
compartment.
27)Every attachment has a maximum load
capacity of 100 kg.
28)A heavy load that has not been
secured may cause serious injuries in the
event of an accident.
29)If you are travelling in an area with
limited opportunities for vehicle refuelling
and you wish to bring petrol with you in
a petrol can, you must do so in compliance
with current regulations and using an
approved can, appropriately secured to the
load securing attachments. Anyway, by
doing so, you increase the risk of fire in the
event of an accident with your vehicle.

JUMP STARTING
If the battery is flat, a jump starting can
be performed using the battery and
the cables of another vehicle, or using a
booster battery.
IMPORTANT
When a booster battery is used, comply
with the utilisation and precaution
instructions specified by the producer.
Do not use the booster battery or
any other source of external supply with
a voltage above 12 V: the battery, the
starter, the alternator and the electrical
system of the vehicle could be
damaged.
Do not attempt jump starting if the
battery is frozen. The battery could
break and explode!
PREPARATION TO JUMP
STARTING
148) 149)
57) 58)
IMPORTANT The positive terminal (+) of
the battery is shielded by a protective
cover. Lift the cover to access the
positive terminal.
Proceed as follows:
engage the handbrake, move the
Dualogic gear lever to P (Park) or,
for versions with manual gearbox, to
neutral and bring the ignition key to
STOP;
switch off all the other electrical
devices in the vehicle;
if another vehicle is ready for jump
starting, park the vehicle within the
reach of the cables to be used for
starting, operate the handbrake and
make sure that the ignition is
deactivated.
IMPORTANT Avoid contact between
the two vehicles since this could cause
a connection to earth and may result
in serious injury to any people nearby.
PROCEDURE FOR JUMP
STARTING
IMPORTANT If the procedure below is
carried out incorrectly, it can cause
severe injury to people or damage the
recharging system of one or both
vehicles. Carefully follow the
instructions given below.
Cable connection
Proceed as follows to carry out a jump
starting:
connect one end of the cable used
for positive (+) to the positive terminal
(+) of the vehicle with flat battery;
connect the other end of the cable
used for positive (+) to the positive
terminal (+) of the auxiliary battery;
connect one end of the cable used
for negative (–) to the negative terminal
(–) of the auxiliary battery;
Connect the other end of the cable
used for negative (–) to an engine
earth (the visible metal part of
the vehicle engine with flat battery)
away from the battery and the fuel
injection system;
start the vehicle engine with the
auxiliary battery, let it run for a few
minutes at idling. Start the engine of the
vehicle with flat battery.
Cable disconnection.
Once the engine has been started,
remove the cables proceeding as
follows:
disconnect the end of the cable
used for negative (–) from the engine
earth of the vehicle with flat battery;
disconnect the other end of the
cable used for negative (–) from the
negative terminal (–) of the auxiliary
battery;
disconnect the end of the cable
used for positive (+) from the positive
terminal (+) of the auxiliary battery;
121

Page 124 of 216

disconnect one end of the cable
used for positive (+) from the positive
terminal (+) of the vehicle with flat
battery;
If it is often necessary to perform a
jump starting, have the vehicle battery
and the recharging system checked
by a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Any accessories (e.g.
mobile phones, etc.) connected to the
vehicle power sockets draw current
even if they are not used. These
devices, if left connected too much time
with engine off, may cause the battery
to drain with following reduction of
its life and/or failure to start the engine.
WARNING
148)This procedure must be performed by
qualified personnel as incorrect actions
may cause high-intensity electrical
discharge. Furthermore, battery fluid is
poisonous and corrosive: avoid contact
with skin and eyes. Keep naked flames and
lighted cigarettes away from the battery
and do not cause sparks.
149)Remove any metal objects (e.g. rings,
watches, bracelets), that might cause an
accidental electrical contact and cause
serious injury.
WARNING
57)Do not connect the cable to the
negative terminal (–) of the flat battery. The
following spark could lead to battery
explosion and cause serious harm. Only
use the specific earth point; do not use any
other exposed metallic part.
58)Never use a fast battery-charger to
start the engine as this could damage the
electronic systems of your vehicle,
particularly the ignition and engine fuel
supply control units.
FUEL CUT-OFF
SYSTEM
150)
This intervenes in the case of an impact
causing:
the interruption of the fuel supply
with the engine consequently cutting
out;
the automatic unlocking of the
doors;
the automatic switching on of the
interior lights
the switching on of the hazard
warning lights.
IMPORTANT Carefully check the car for
fuel leaks, for instance in the engine
compartment, under the car or near the
tank area. After an impact, turn the
ignition key to STOP to prevent the
battery from running down.
To restore the correct operation of the
car, proceed as follows:
turn the ignition key to the MAR
position;
activate the right direction indicator;
deactivate the right direction
indicator;
activate the left direction indicator;
deactivate the left direction indicator;
activate the right direction indicator;

BATTERY
RECHARGING
156) 157)
IMPORTANT After turning the ignition
key to STOP and having closed the
driver's side door, wait at least one
minute before disconnecting and then
reconnecting the battery electrical
supply.
IMPORTANT Charging should be slow
at a low ampere rating for
approximately 24 hours. Charging for a
longer time may damage the battery.
IMPORTANT The cables of the
electrical system must be correctly
reconnected to the battery, i.e. the
positive cable (+) to the positive
terminal and the negative cable (–) to
the negative terminal. The battery
terminals are marked with the positive
(+) and negative (–) symbols, and are
shown on the battery cover. The battery
terminals must also be corrosion-free.
IMPORTANT If a "quick-type" battery
charger is used with the battery fitted
on the vehicle, before connecting it
disconnect both cables of the battery
itself. Do not use a "quick-type" battery
charger to provide the starting voltage.IMPORTANT The battery recharging
procedure is given as information only.
You are advised to contact a Fiat
Dealership to have this operation
performed.
VERSIONS WITHOUT
Start&Stop SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Charge the battery as follows:
disconnect the negative battery
terminal;
connect the charger cables to the
battery terminals, observing the polarity;
turn on the charger;
when it is recharged, turn the
charger off before disconnecting it from
the battery;
reconnect the negative battery
terminal.
VERSIONS WITH
Stop/Start SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
To recharge, proceed as follows:
disconnect the connector A fig. 122
(pressing the button B) from the sensor
C monitoring the battery conditions,
on the negative pole D of the battery;
connect the positive cable of the
battery charger to the positive battery
pole E and the negative cable to the
terminal of sensor D;
turn on the battery charger. At the
end of the charging process, switch the
battery charger off;
after having disconnected the
charging device, reconnect the
connector A to the sensor C.
