IMPORTANT Do not directly connect the
two negative terminals: sparks could ignite
the flammable gas from the battery. If the
other battery is fitted in a vehicle, prevent
accidental contacts between the metal
parts of the two vehicles.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.
WARNING
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.BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine (bu push-
ing, towing, or coasting downhill) as this
could cause fuel to flow into the catalytic
exhaust system and damage it beyond re-
pair.
IMPORTANT Remember that until the
engine has started the brake booster and
electrical power steering systems will not
work and a greater effort will therefore
be required to press the brake pedal or
turn the steering wheel.
Alert other drivers that the
car is stationary in compli-
ance with local regulations: hazard
warning lights, warning triangle etc.
Any passengers on board should leave
the car, especially if it is heavily laden.
Passengers should stay away from on-
coming traffic while the wheel is be-
ing changed on. If the wheel is being
changed on a steep or badly surfaced
road, place the wedges or other suit-
able material under the wheel to stop
the car.

TOW RING HOOKING
Proceed as follows:
❒take the tow ring Bfrom its support;
❒tighten the ring on the rear fig. 48 or
front threaded pin fig. 49.
fig. 48F0H0204mfig. 49F0H0205m
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 steer-
ing lock engages automatically which
prevents the wheels being turned.
WARNING
While the car is being towed
with the engine off, remem-
ber that the brake pedal and steering
will require more effort as you no
longer have the benefit of the brake
booster and the electrical power
steering. Do not use flexible cables to
tow. Avoid jerking. Whilst towing, en-
sure that the coupling to the car does
not damage the surrounding compo-
nents. When towing the car, you must
comply with the specific traffic reg-
ulations regarding the tow hitch and
how to tow on the road.
WARNING
Do not start the engine
when towing the car.
