194 IN THE EVENT
OF A FLAT BATTERY
STARTING WITH AN
AUXILIARY BATTERY
If the battery is flat, it is possible to start the
engine using an auxiliary battery (B-fig.
96) with the same electrical characteristics
as the original battery (A-fig. 96) (see
chapter “Technical specifications”).
The battery is housed on the left-hand
side of the boot, protected by a cover.
If the battery is low, the servocontrol
operating when the luggage compart-
ment opens from inside or by the key
does not work. However, it is always pos-
sible to open the luggage compartmentto reach the battery. Just rotate the key
wider simultaneously pressing on the bon-
net edge by the hand.
IMPORTANTApply a moderate pres-
sure only on the bonnet edge, immediate-
ly above the lock.
On versions without navigation system and
without CD player, access to the battery is
gained by slackening the knob (A-fig. 94)
and removing the battery cover.
On versions with navigation system and
/or CD player, access to the battery is
gained by slackening the knobs (A-fig.
95) and removing the cover (B).
Starting with an auxiliary battery does
not damages the Alfa Romeo CODE sys-
tem and must be carried out as follows:– Switch off all the not strictly neces-
sary electric devices.
– Connect a jump lead to the positive
terminals (1-fig. 96) of the two batter-
ies (+ sign next to the terminal).
– Connect another jump lead to the
negative terminals (2) of both batteries
(– sign next to the terminal).
– Start the engine.
– When the engine has started, remove
the cables reversing the sequence de-
scribed for connecting them.
– If after a few attempts, the engine
fails to start, do not insist pointlessly and
contact the nearest Authorized Alfa
Romeo Services.
