STARTING THE ENGINE
EMERGENCY START-UP
If the instrument panel warning light
Ystays on permanently, contact a Fiat
Dealership immediately.
JUMP STARTING fig. 1
If the battery is flat, the engine may be
started using an auxiliary battery with an
equal or slightly higher capacity than the
flat one. Proceed as follows to start the car:
❒connect the 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
Eon the engine or
the gearbox of the car to be started;
❒start the engine.
❒when the engine has been started, fol-
low the sequence above in reverse or-
der 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 terminals of the two batteries:
sparks could ignite explosive gas released
from the battery. If the auxiliary battery is
installed on another car, prevent acciden-
tal contact between metallic parts of the
two cars.
NB
For cars with Start&Stop system, in
case of starting by booster battery, refer
to "Dashboard and controls" chapter,
paragraph "Start&Stop system".
This procedure must be per-
formed by expert personnel
because incorrect actions may cause
considerable electrical discharge. Fur-
thermore, battery fluid is poisonous
and corrosive: avoid contact with skin
and eyes. Keep naked flames and lit
cigarettes away from the battery. Do
not create sparks.

IN AN

Do not start the engine while
the car is being towed.
WARNING
Clean the threaded housing
carefully before fastening
the ring. Make sure that the ring is se-
curely fastened before towing the car.
WARNING
Release the steering wheel
lock before towing (see “Ig-
nition device” in “Dashboard and
controls”). The brake booster and
power steering will not work while the
vehicle is being towed. You will there-
fore need to apply more force to the
brake pedal and steering wheel. Do
not use bendy cables for towing and
avoid jerking. Make sure not to dam-
age parts in contact with the car
while towing. Respect the rules of the
highway code when towing the car,
specifically in relation to the towing
device and road conduct.
WARNING
The front and rear tow
hooks should be used only
for emergencies on the road. You are
allowed to tow the car for short dis-
tances using an appropriate device in
accordance with the highway code
(a rigid bar), to move the vehicle on
the road in readiness for towing or
transporting via a breakdown vehicle.
Tow hooks MUST NOT be used to
tow vehicles off the road or where
there are obstacles and/or for tow-
ing operations using cables or other
non-rigid devices.
Respecting the above conditions,
towing must take place with two ve-
hicles (one towing, the other towed)
aligned as much as possible along the
same centre line.
