JUMP STARTING
See
JUMP STARTINGin this chapter.
IF THE BATTERY
IS FLAT
First of all, read the CAR MAINTE-
NANCEchapter for the steps to be
taken to avoid the battery running
down and to ensure it has a long life.
RECHARGING THE BATTERY
You are advised to recharge the bat-
tery slowly for a period of approxi-
mately 24 hours at a low amperage.
Charging for too long could damage
the battery.
Proceed as follows:
1)Disconnect the electric system
from the battery terminals.
IMPORTANTWhere relevant,
switch the electronic car alarm off
with the remote control.3)Turn on the charger.
4)When you have finished, turn the
charger off before disconnecting the
battery.
5)Reconnect the cables to the bat-
tery terminals. Make sure the polarity
is correct.
The liquid in the battery
is poisonous and corro-
sive. Do not let it touch
the skin or eyes. Recharging the
battery should be done in a well-
ventilated area away from naked
flames or possible sources of
sparks: explosion and fire risk. Do not attempt to
recharge a frozen bat-
tery. Thaw is first other-
wise it could explode. If the bat-
tery froze, make sure the inter-
nal elements are not broken
(short-circuit risk) and that the
casing is not cracked (risk of
spilling the poisonous and corro-
sive liquid).
Under no circumstances
should a battery charger
be used to start the en-
gine: it could damage the elec-
tronic systems and in particular
the ignition and injection control
units.

106IN AN EMERGENCY
JACKING THE CAR
WITH THE JACK
See
IF A TYRE IS PUNCTUREDin this
chapter. Please note:
– The jack requires no adjustments.
– The jack cannot be repaired. If it
breaks it must be replaced with a new
jack.
– Apart from the handle shown in
this chapter no other tools should be
installed on the jack. WITH A SHOP JACK
From the front
Jack up the car only by positioning
the jack arm at the gearbox/differen-
tial and placing a rubber pad in be-
tween, as shown in fig. 43.
From the rear end
The car may only be raised by plac-
ing the jack arm under the suspension
supports with a flat, compact piece of
wood placed as shown in fig. 44. The jack should only be
used to change a wheel
on the car for which it
was designed. It should not be
put to other uses or employed to
raise other models. Under no cir-
cumstances should it be used
when carrying out repairs under
the car.
An incorrectly posi-
tioned jack may cause the
car to fall. Do not use the
jack to lift loads exceeding that
indicated on the label attached
to the jack itself. Never start the engine
when the car is jacked up.
Detach the trailer,
where relevant, before jacking up
the car.

107IN AN EMERGENCY
Before starting to tow,
turn the ignition key to
MAR and then to STOP.
Do not remove the key. If the
key is removed, the steering lock
engages automatically which pre-
vents the wheels being turned.
While the car is being
towed with the engine
off, remember that the
brake pedal and steering will re-
quire more effort as you no
longer have the benefit of the
power brakes and power steer-
ing. Do not use flexible cables to
tow. Avoid jerking. Whilst tow-
ing, ensure that the coupling to
the vehicle does not damage the
surrounding components.
The car can be lifted
from the side providing
the hydraulic jack arm is
fitted with a special bracket in
the plate housing.
WITH AN ARM HOIST
Jack up the car by arranging the ends
of the arms in the areas shown in
fig. 45.
IF THE CAR NEEDS
TO BE TOWED
A tow hitch is provided with the car.
To fasten the tow hitch:
1)Take the tow eye from the spare
wheel in the boot.
When towing the car,
you must comply with
the specific traffic regula-
tions regarding the tow hitch and
how to tow on the road.

SCHEDULED
SERVICING
Correct maintenance of the car is
essential for ensuring it stays in tip-top
condition for a long time to come.
This is why Fiat has programmed a
number of service checks and opera-
tions every twenty thousand kilome-
tres.
It is however important to remem-
ber that
SCHEDULED SERVICINGis not all
your vehicle requires. Regular
checked - also in the initial period be-
fore the 20,000 kilometre coupon and
later between coupons - ordinary care
is required, such as checking fluid lev-
els and topping up, checking tyre in-
flation pressure, etc. IMPORTANTThe Manufacturer
requires the Service Schedule coupon-
related checks to be carried out. Fail-
ure to do so could result in the war-
ranty being cancelled for those defects
that can be attributed to such failure.
S
CHEDULED SERVICINGis performed at
all Fiat Dealerships, and there is a
set time scale for such operations.
If it is seen that further replacements
or repairs are necessary in addition to
the work being carried out, these will
only be done after the customer has
given his/her consent.IMPORTANT You are recom-
mended to get in touch with a Fiat
Dealershipimmediately if any minor
running problems crop up without
waiting for the next coupon.
