al fully and shift the gear lever into one of
the required positions (the diagram is
shown on the knob fig. 2).
IMPORTANT Reverse may only be en-
gaged when the car is at a standstill. With

onds with the clutch pedal fully pressed
before engaging reverse to prevent dam-
age to the gears and grating.

STARTING THE
ENGINE
EMERGENCY START-UP
Go to a Fiat Dealership immediately
if instrument panel warning light
comes
on steady.
JUMP STARTING fig. 1
If the battery is flat, the engine may be
started using an auxiliary battery with the
same capacity or a little
higher than the
flat one. Proceed as follows to start the engine:
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 on 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.
If after a few attempts the engine does not
start, do not insist but contact the
near-
est Fiat Dealership.
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.
