ENGINE STARTING
EMERGENCY START-UP
If the instrument panel warning light
Yturns on glowing steadily, contact im-
mediately Fiat Dealership.
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 nega-
tive terminal (–) of the auxiliary battery
and to an earthing point
Eon the en-
gine 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.If after a few attempts the engine does not
start, do not insist but contact the near-
est 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.BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine (by pushing,
towing, or coasting downhill) as this could
cause fuel to flow into the catalytic ex-
haust system and damage it beyond repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the servo-
brake and electrical power steering sys-
tem are not operating until the engine is
started, a greater effort will therefore be
required to press the brake pedal or turn
the steering wheel.
fig. 1F0Q0733m
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
flames or lighted cigarettes near the
battery and not to cause sparks.
