If after a few attempts the engine does not
start, do not insist but contact the nea-
rest Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Do not directly connect the
negative terminals of the two batteries:
sparks could ignite the flammable gas from
the battery. If the other battery is fitted in
another car, prevent accidental contacts
between the metal parts of the two cars.
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.
Proceed as follows fig. 1:
❒Connect positive terminals (+ near
the terminal) of the two batteries with
a jump lead;
❒With a second lead, connect the ne-
gative terminal (–) of the auxiliary bat-
tery and 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, re-
move the leads reversing the order
above.
fig. 1F0L0127m
Under no circumstances
should a battery charger be
used to start the engine: it
could damage the electronic
systems and in particular the ignition
and injection control units.
Do not carry out this proce-
dure if you lack experience; if
it is not done correctly it can cause
very intense electrical discharges. In
addition, the fluid contained in the
battery is poisonous and corrosive.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. You
are also advised not to put naked fla-
mes or lighted cigarettes near the bat-
tery and not to cause sparks.

WHEN NEEDING TO
CHANGE A BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒When a light is not working, check
that the corresponding fuse is intact
before changing a bulb. For the loca-
tion of fuses, refer to the paragraph “If
a fuse blows” in this section;
❒Before changing a bulb check the con-
tacts for oxidation;
❒Burnt bulbs must be replaced by
others of the same type and power;
❒Always check the height of the head-
light beam after changing a bulb.
❒Stow the container C-fig. 12, com-
plete with tools in the boot;
❒Place the space-saver spare wheel B-
fig. 11in the space provided for the

fig. 12F0L0219m
Halogen bulbs must be hand-
led touching only the metal-
lic part. If the transparent bulb
is touched with the fingers, its
lighting intensity is reduced and life of
the bulb may be compromised. If tou-
ched accidentally, rub the bulb with a
cloth moistened with alcohol and allow
to dry.
Modifications or repairs to
the electrical system (elec-
tronic control units) carried out in-
correctly and without bearing the fea-
tures of the system in mind can cau-
se malfunctions with the risk of fire.
WARNING
Halogen bulbs contain pres-
surised gas which, if broken,
may cause small fragments of glass to
be projected outwards.
