KNOWING YOUR CAR121
EMERGENCY STARTING
When jump starting, never connect the negative lead (−)
of the auxiliary battery to the negative pole A-fig. 77
of the car battery, but rather to an engine/gearbox earth
point.

Before opening the bonnet, make sure the
engine is off and the ignition key is in the
STOP position. Follow the instructions on the ded-
icated label on the front crossmember (fig. 78).
It is advisable to extract the key when there are
other people in the vehicle. Exit from the vehicle
only after having removed the ignition key or hav-
ing rotated it to the STOP position. During refu-
elling, make sure the vehicle has been stopped and
the key is in STOP position.

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.
fig. 1L0E0074m
Strictly avoid using a rapid battery charger
for jump starting: this could damage the
electronic systems and the engine fuel sup-
ply and ignition control units.
This starting procedure must be carried out
by expert personnel as incorrect manoeu-
vres can cause electrical discharges of con-
siderable intensity. 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.
