If the battery is flat, the engine may be
started using an auxiliary battery with the
same capacity or a little higher than the
flat one.
Proceed as follows to start the engine:
❒Connect positive terminals (+near
the terminal) of the two batteries
with a jump lead;
❒With a second lead, connect the neg-
ative terminal (–) of the auxiliary bat-
tery 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

IMPORTANT Never connect the negative
terminals of the two batteries directly:
sparks could ignite explosive gas released
from the battery. If the auxiliary battery is
installed on another car, prevent acciden-
tal contact between metallic parts of the
two cars.
This procedure must be per-
formed by expert personnel
because incorrect actions may cause
electrical discharge of considerable
intensity. Furthermore, battery fluid
is poisonous and corrosive: avoid con-
tact with your skin and eyes. Keep
naked flames away from the battery.
No smoking. Do not cause sparks.
WARNING
Never use a rapid battery
charger to jump start the en-
gine: this could damage the
electronic systems and the en-
gine ignition and injection control units.BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by pushing,
towing or driving downhill. This could
cause a flow of fuel into the catalytic con-
verter and damage it beyond repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the brake
servo and the electric power steering sys-
tem are not activated until the engine is
started, a greater effort will therefore be
required to press the brake pedal or turn
the steering wheel.
Indicate that the car is sta-
tionary according to the laws
in force: emergency lights, refracting
warning triangle, etc. Passengers
should leave the car, particularly if
it is very loaded, and wait for the
wheel to be changed away from on-
coming traffic. Arrange wedges or
other suitable material under the
wheels to block the car on slopes or
rough roads.

of the compressor is in position 0(off),
start the engine, insert plug A-fig. 7
into the cigar lighter (or 12V socket)
and operate the compressor by taking
the switch Dto position I(on). In-
flate the tyre to the pressure specified
in the “Inflation pressure” paragraph,
“Technical Specifications” chapter.
For a more accurate reading, check
pressure gauge F-fig. 13with the
compressor off;
❒if after 5 minutes it is still impossible
to reach at least 1.5 bar, disengage
compressor from valve and current
outlet, then move the car forth for ap-
prox. ten metres in order to distrib-
ute the sealing fluid inside the tyre
evenly, then repeat the inflation op-
eration;
❒If after this operation it is still impos-
sible after 5 minutes to reach at least
1.8 bar, do not start driving since the
tyre is excessively damaged and the
quick tyre repair kit cannot guarantee
suitable sealing, contact Fiat Dealer-
ship;

start driving immediately;
Apply the adhesive label in a
position clearly visible by the

celerate or brake suddenly.
WARNINGStop if the pressure has
dropped to less than 1.8 bar:
The automatic Fix & Go fast repair
kit cannot work properly if the tyre is
excessively damaged. Go to a Fiat
Dealership.
WARNING
❒after driving for about 10 minutes stop
and check again the tyre pressure; pull
up the handbrake;
❒if at least 1.8 bar pressure is read, re-
