EMERGENCY STARTING fig. 107
When jump starting, never connect the negative lead (–)
of the auxiliary battery to the negative pole C of the ve-
hicle battery, but rather to either the false pole B or to
an engine/gearbox earth point.
WARNINGS
When replacing the battery, always go to
the Fiat Service Network. Replace the bat-
tery using a new one of the same type and spec-
ifications.
WARNINGBefore opening the bonnet, make sure
that the vehicle is switched off and the key
is in the OFF position. Follow the instructions on
the dedicated plate on the front crossmember. It
is advisable to extract the key when there are oth-
er people in the vehicle.
WARNING

In case of car inactivity, special attention must be paid due
to the disconnection of the battery power supply. Proceed
as follows: detach the connector (by pressing button B) from
sensor C for monitoring the battery status installed on the
battery negative pole D. This sensor should never be dis-
connected from the pole except if the battery is replaced.

HANDBRAKE
The handbrake is located between the two front seats.
Pull the lever upwards to engage the handbrake and en-
sure that the vehicle does not move.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Turn the ignition key to STOP while the engine is idling.
IMPORTANT After a long drive, you should allow the en-
gine to “catch its breath” before turning it off by letting it
idle to allow the temperature in the engine compartment
to fall.
Never jump start the engine by pushing,
towing or driving downhill. This could cause
fuel to flow into the catalytic converter and
damage it beyond repair.
The vehicle should be secured after sev-
eral clicks of the lever. If it is not, contact
a FIAT Dealership to have it adjusted.
WARNING
When the handbrake is on and the ignition key is at MAR,
the instrument panel warning light
xwill come on.
Proceed as follows to release the handbrake:
❒lift the lever slightly and press release button A-fig. 126;
❒hold button A down and lower the lever. The xwarn-
ing light on the instrument panel will go out.
Depress the brake pedal when carrying out this operation
to prevent the vehicle from moving accidentally.

STARTING THE ENGINE
EMERGENCY STARTING
If the instrument panel warning light
Ystays on perma-
nently, contact a Fiat Dealership immediately.
JUMP STARTING
If the battery is flat, the engine may be started using an aux-
iliary battery with an equal or slightly higher capacity than
the flat one.
IN AN EMERGENCY
In an emergency, we recommend that you call the freephone number found in the Warranty Booklet. You can
also go to the www.fiat.com website to find your nearest Fiat Dealership.
To do so, proceed as follows (fig. 128):
❒connect the positive terminals (+ sign near the termi-
nal) of the two batteries with a jump lead;
❒with a second lead, connect the negative terminal (–) of
the auxiliary battery to an earthing point Eon the en-
gine or the gearbox of the car to be started;
❒start the engine.
❒when the engine has been started, follow the sequence
above in reverse order to remove the leads.
If after a few attempts the engine does not start, do not
keep trying but contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Do not directly connect the negative ter-
minals of the two batteries: sparks could ignite explosive
gas released from the battery. If the auxiliary battery is
installed on another vehicle, prevent accidental contact be-
tween metallic parts of the two vehicles.

Strictly avoid using a rapid battery charg-
er for jump starting: this could damage the
system electronics and the ignition and en-
gine supply control units.
This procedure must be performed by ex-
perts because incorrect actions may cause
considerable electrical discharge. Furthermore,
battery fluid is poisonous and corrosive: avoid con-
tact with skin and eyes. Keep naked flames and
lit cigarettes away from the battery. Do not cre-
ate sparks.
WARNING
BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by pushing, towing or driving
downhill. This could cause fuel to flow into the catalytic
converter and damage it beyond repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the brake booster and the
power steering system are not active until the engine is
started, so you will need to apply much more force to
the brake pedal or steering wheel.
CHANGING A TYRE
The vehicle is originally equipped with the Fix&Go auto-
matic quick tyre repair kit (see instructions in the next sec-
tion). As an alternative, the vehicle may have a normal-
sized spare wheel.
Wheel changing and correct use of the jack and spare
wheel call for some precautions, as listed below.
