Proceed as follows:
❒ Connect positive terminals (+) of the
two batteries with a jump lead;
❒With a second lead, connect the nega-
tive terminal–of the auxiliary battery
to an earthing pointEon 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.
IMPORTANT Do not directly connect the
negative terminals of the two batteries:
any sparks may ignite the detonating gas
which could come out of the battery. If the
auxiliary battery is installed on another
car, avoid metal parts touching acciden-
tally between this car and the one with the
flat battery. JUMP STARTING fig. 1
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.

CORRECT USE
OF THE CAR
IN AN
EMERGENCY
Never use a battery charger
to start the engine as this
could damage the electronic
systems of your car, particu-
larly the ignition and fuel supply con-
trol units.
The starting procedure must
be carried out by qualified
personnel because incorrect opera-
tions may cause electrical discharge of
considerable intensity. The liquid con-
tained in the battery is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with the skin
and eyes. Keep naked flames and light-
ed cigarettes away from the battery
and do not cause sparks.

BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine (by pushing,
towing or coasting downhill).
This could cause fuel to flow into the cat-
alytic converter and damage it beyond re-
pair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the servo-
brake and electrical power steering sys-
tem (where provided) are not operating
until the engine is started, a greater effort
will therefore be required to press the
brake pedal or turn the steering wheel.

not exceed 80 km/h. The spare wheel
has an orange sticker that summaris-
es the main cautions for use and lim-
itations. The sticker should never be
removed or covered. Never fit a wheel
cap on a space-saver spare wheel.
The sticker gives the following infor-
mation in four languages: Caution!
For temporary use only! 80 km/h max!
Replace by normal wheel as soon as
possible. Do not cover this label in
use.
If you change the type of wheel (al-
loy rims instead of steel rims) you will
have to change the entire set of fas-
tening bolts with another set of suit-
ably sized bolts.
