CORRECT USE
OF THE CAR
IN AN
EMERGENCY
If after a few attempts the engine does not
start, do not insist but contact the near-
est Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Do not directly connect the
negative terminals of the two batteries:
sparks could ignite the flammable gas from
the battery. If the other battery is fitted in
another car, prevent accidental contacts
between the metal parts of the two cars.
JUMP STARTING
If the battery is flat, it is possible to start
the engine using an auxiliary battery with
the same capacity or a little higher than
the flat one.
Proceed as follows fig. 1:
❒Connect positive terminals (+ near
the terminal) of the two batteries with
a jump lead;
❒With a second lead, connect the neg-
ative terminal (–) of the auxiliary bat-
tery and 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.
fig. 1F0L0127m
Under no circumstances
should a battery charger be
used to start the engine: it
could damage the electronic
systems and in particular the ignition
and injection control units.
Do not carry out this proce-
dure if you lack experience; if
it is not done correctly it can cause
very intense electrical discharges. In
addition, the fluid contained in the
battery is poisonous and corrosive.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. You
are also advised not to put naked
flames or lighted cigarettes near the
battery and not to cause sparks.
