STARTING THE
ENGINE
EMERGENCY START-UP
Go to a Fiat Dealership immediately
if instrument panel warning light
comes
on steady.
JUMP STARTING fig. 1
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 nega-
tive terminal (–) of the auxiliary battery
to an earthing point on the engine 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.
This procedure must be per-
formed by expert personnel
because incorrect actions may cause
electrical
discharge of considerable in-
tensity. Furthermore, battery fluid is
poisonous
and corrosive: avoid contact
with your skin and eyes. Keep naked
flames away from the battery.
No
smoking. Do not cause sparks.

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.JUMP STARTING
Never jump 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
booster and the power steering system
are not operating until
the engine is start-
ed, a greater effort will therefore be re-
quired to press the brake pedal or turn
the steering wheel.
REPLACING A WHEEL
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Wheel changing and correct use of the
jack and spare wheel call for some pre-
cautions as listed below.
Indicate that the car is sta-
tionary according to the laws
in force: hazard lights, triangle, etc.
Passengers should leave the car, par-
ticularly if it is very loaded and
wait
for the wheel to be changed away
from on-coming traffic . Apply the
handbrake.

To change a wheel proceed as
follows:
stop the car in a position so that it is
not a danger for on-coming traffic and
where you can replace the wheel safe-
ly. The ground must be flat and com-
pact;
stop the engine off and pull up the hand-
brake;
engage first gear or reverse;
wear the reflecting safety jacket (com-
pulsory by law in certain countries) be-
fore getting out of the car;
open the tailgate and lift the mat;
loosen the fastener A;

take out the tool box Cand take it near
to the wheel to be changed;

take the spare wheel B;
