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:
❒Connect positive terminals (+) of the two batteries with a jump lead.
❒With a second lead, connect the negative terminal (-) of the auxiliary
battery to an earth point
Eon the engine or the gearbox of the car to
be started.
IMPORTANT Do not directly connect the negative terminals of the two
batteries: any sparks may ignite the detonating gas which could come out
of the battery. If the auxiliary battery is installed on another car, avoid
metal parts touching accidentally between this car and the one with the
flat battery.
❒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 insist but contact
the nearest Fiat Dealership.
F0E0670m
Never use a battery charger to start the engine as this could damage the electronic systems of your
vehicle, particularly the ignition and fuel supply control units.
WARNINGThis starting procedure must be carried out by qualified personnel because
incorrect operations may cause electrical discharge of considerable intensity. The
liquid contained in the battery is poisonous an corrosive. Avoid contact with the
skin and eyes. Keep naked flames and lighted cigarettes away from the battery and
do not cause sparks.

battery being damaged.Proceed as follows:
❒Disconnect battery negative terminal (–).
IMPORTANT If the car is equipped with electronic
alarm, switch it off with the remote control.
❒Connect the charger cables to the battery terminals,
observing the poles.
❒Turn on the charger.
❒When you have finished, turn the charger off before
disconnecting the battery.
❒Reconnect battery negative terminal (–).
