WARNING
3)Dispose of the bottle and the sealant
properly. Dispose of the components
in compliance with national and local
regulations.
JUMP STARTING
If the battery is flat, a jump starting can
be performed using the battery and
the cables of another vehicle, or using a
booster battery.
IMPORTANT
When using booster battery is used,
comply with the utilisation and
precaution instructions specified by the
producer.
Do not use the booster battery or any
other source of external supply with
a voltage above 12 V: the battery, the
starter, the alternator and the electrical
system of the vehicle could be
damaged.
Do not attempt jump starting if the
battery is wet. The battery could break
and explode!
PREPARATION TO JUMP
STARTING
157) 158) 159)56)
IMPORTANT The positive terminal (+) of
the battery is shielded by a protective
cover. Lift the cover to access the
positive terminal.
Proceed as follows:❒operate the parking brake, move the
automatic transmission lever to P
(Park) or, for versions with manual
gearbox, to neutral and bring the
ignition device to STOP;
❒switch off all the other electrical
appliances in the vehicle;
❒if another vehicle is ready for
emergency starting, park the vehicle
within the reach of the cables to be
used for starting, operate the parking
brake and make sure that the ignition is
deactivated.
IMPORTANT Avoid contact between
the two vehicles since this could cause
a connection to earth and may result
in serious injury to any people nearby.
PROCEDURE FOR JUMP
STARTING
IMPORTANT If the procedure below is
carried out incorrectly can cause severe
injuries to people or damage the
recharging system of one or both
vehicles. Carefully follow the
instructions given below.
Cable connection
Proceed as follows to carry out a jump
starting:
❒connect one end of the cable used
for positive (+) to the positive terminal
(+) of the vehicle with flat battery;

FUEL CUT-OFF
SYSTEM
This intervenes in the case of an impact
causing:
❒the interruption of the fuel supply with
the engine consequently cutting out;
❒the automatic unlocking of the doors;
❒turning on of the lights inside the
vehicle;
❒deactivation of climate control system
ventilation;
❒switching on of the hazard warning
lights (to deactivate the lights press the
button on the dashboard).
On some versions, the intervention of
the system is indicated by a message
shown on the display. In the same way,
a dedicated message on the display
warns the driver if system operation is
compromised.
IMPORTANT Carefully check the vehicle
for fuel leaks, for instance in the engine
compartment, under the vehicle or
near the tank area. After a collision,
bring the ignition device to STOP to
prevent the battery from running down.
To restore correct operation of the
vehicle, carry out the following
procedure (this procedure must be
started and completed within less than
one minute):❒move the ignition device to MAR;
❒turn on the direction indicators on the
right, then on the left, then again on
the right and again on the left;
❒now deactivate the direction
indicators on the left;
❒bring the ignition device to STOP;
❒move the ignition device to MAR.

WARNING
160)If, after an impact, you smell fuel or
notice leaks from the fuel system, do
not reactivate the system to avoid the risk
of fire.

TOWING THE
VEHICLE
ATTACHING THE TOW
HOOK
161) 162) 163)
The tow hook provided with the vehicle
is located in the tool box inside the
luggage compartment.
Front
Release plug A fig. 145 by pressing the
lower part, take tow hook B from its
housing in the tool support and tighten
it securely on the front threaded pin.
Rear
Remove plug A fig. 146, take tow hook
B from its housing in the tool support
and tighten it securely on the rear
threaded pin.
Trailhawk versions: tow hook A fig. 147,
fixed type, is secured to the vehicle
body.
WARNING
161)For versions with mechanical key,
before towing, turn the ignition key to MAR
and then to STOP without removing it.
The steering column will automatically lock
when the key is removed and the wheels
cannot be steered. Also check that the
gearbox is in neutral (on versions equipped
with automatic transmission, check that
the gear lever is in N position). For versions
with electronic key, bring the ignition
device to MAR and then to STOP, without
opening the door.
162)The brake servo and the
electromechanical power steering will not
work while the vehicle is being towed.
You will therefore need to apply more force
on the brake pedal and steering wheel.
Do not use flexible ropes when towing, and
avoid jerky movements. While towing,
make sure that the trailer hitch does not
damage any components it is touching.
When towing the vehicle, you must comply
with all specific traffic regulations and
adopt an appropriate driving behaviour. Do
not start the engine while towing the
vehicle. Before tightening the ring, clean
the threaded housing thoroughly. Make
sure that the ring is fully fastened in the
housing before towing the vehicle.

BATTERY
RECHARGING
IMPORTANT
IMPORTANT After placing the ignition
device to STOP and having closed
the driver side door, wait at least one
minute before disconnecting the
electrical supply from the battery. When
reconnecting the electrical supply to
the battery, make sure that the ignition
device is in the STOP position and
the driver side door is closed.
IMPORTANT Charging should be slow
at a low ampere rating for
approximately 24 hours. Charging for a
longer time may damage the battery.IMPORTANT The cables of the
electrical system must be correctly
reconnected to the battery, i.e. the
positive cable (+) to the positive
terminal and the negative cable (–) to
the negative terminal. The battery
terminals are marked with the positive
(+) and negative (–) symbols, and are
shown on the battery cover. The battery
terminals must also be corrosion-free
and firmly secured to the terminals. If a
"quick-type" battery charger is used
with the battery fitted on the vehicle,
before connecting it disconnect both
cables of the battery itself. Do not use a
"quick-type" battery charger to provide
the starting voltage.
VERSIONS WITHOUT
STOP/START SYSTEM
To recharge, proceed as follows:
❒disconnect the terminal from the
negative battery pole;
❒connect the charger cables to the
battery terminals, observing the polarity;
❒turn on the charger;
❒when it is recharged, turn the charger
off before disconnecting it from the
battery;
❒reconnect the negative battery
terminal.
VERSIONS WITH
STOP/START SYSTEM
To recharge, proceed as follows:
❒disconnect the connector A fig. 151
(pressing the button B) from the sensor
C monitoring the battery conditions,
on the negative pole (–) D of the
battery;
❒connect the positive cable (+) of the
battery charger to the positive battery
terminal E and the negative cable (–) to
sensor terminal D as shown;
❒turn on the battery charger. At the
end of the charging process, switch the
battery charger off;
❒after having disconnected the
charger, reconnect connector A to the
sensor C as in fig. 151.
