STARTING THE ENGINE
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.

To start the engine, proceed as
follows fig. 109:
– connect the positive terminals (+),
sign near the terminal, 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 engine or the
gearbox of the vehicle to be
started;
– start the engine;
– when the engine has been started,
remove the leads, reversing the
order above.If after a few attempts the engine
does not start, do not persist but
contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Do not directly
connect the negative terminals of
the two batteries: any sparks may
ignite the explosive gas which could
come out of the battery. If the
auxiliary battery is installed on
another vehicle, avoid any metal
parts on the latter and the vehicle
with the flat battery from
accidentally coming into contact.
