If after a few attempts the engine does
not start, do not insist but contact the
nearest Lancia Dealership.
IMPORTANT Never connect the neg-
ative terminals of the two batteries di-
rectly: sparks could ignite explosive
gas released from the battery. If the
auxiliary battery is installed on an-
other car, prevent accidental contact
between metallic parts of the two cars.

This procedure must be
performed by expert per-
sonnel because incorrect actions
may cause electrical discharge of
considerable intensity. Further-
more, 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.
WARNING
Never use a rapid battery
charger to jump start the
engine: this could damage
the electronic systems and
the engine ignition and injection
control units.
