JUMP STARTING
INSTRUCTIONS
– Use the jack only to change
wheels on level, hard ground.
– Never jack up the vehicle on an in-
clined surface.
– Never raise the vehicle with the jack
in a location other than between the
frame bosses near the wheel to be
changed.
– Make sure that the jack is raised at
least 51 mm (2 inches) before it con-
tacts the flange. Use of the jack when
it is within 51 mm (2 inches) of being
fully collapsed may result in failure of
the jack.
– Never get under the vehicle when it
is supported by the jack.
– Never run the engine when the ve-
hicle is supported by the jack and
never allow passengers to remain in
the vehicle.

– Never attempt to jump
start your vehicle if the bat-
tery appears to be frozen. Batteries
in this condition may explode or rup-
ture if jump starting is attempted.
– When making jump lead connec-
tions, be certain that your hands and
the jump leads remain clear from pul-
leys, belts, or fans.
– Batteries produce flammable hy-
drogen gas. Keep flames and sparks
away from the battery or an explo-
sion may occur. Never smoke when
working in the vicinity of the battery.
– If the booster battery you use for
jump starting is installed in another
vehicle, make sure the two vehicles
are not touching each other.
– If your battery discharges repeat-
edly, for no apparent reason, have
your vehicle inspected by an autho-
rized Fiat Dealership.
