❒connect the other end of the cable
used for positive (+) to the positive
terminal (+) of the auxiliary battery;
❒connect one end of the cable used
for negative (–) to the negative terminal
(–) of the auxiliary battery;
❒Connect the other end of the cable
used for negative (–) to an engine earth
(the visible metal part of the vehicle
engine with flat battery) away from the
battery and the fuel injection system;
❒start the vehicle engine with the
auxiliary battery, let it run for a
few minutes at idling. Start the engine
of the vehicle with flat battery.
Cable disconnection.
Once the engine has been started,
remove the cables proceeding as
follows:
❒disconnect the end of the cable used
for negative (–) from the engine earth
of the vehicle with flat battery;
❒disconnect the other end of the cable
used for negative (–) to the negative
terminal (–) of the auxiliary battery;
❒disconnect the end of the cable used
for positive (+) to the positive terminal
(+) of the auxiliary battery;
❒disconnect one end of the cable
used for positive (+) from the positive
terminal (+) of the vehicle with flat
battery;If it is often necessary to perform an
emergency starting, have the vehicle
battery and the recharging system
checked by a Jeep Dealership.
IMPORTANT Any accessories (e.g.
mobile phones, etc.) connected to the
vehicle current sockets, draw current
even if they are not used. These
devices, if left connected too much time
with engine off, may cause the battery
to drain with following reduction of
its life and/or failure to start the engine.
WARNING
157)Do not get too close to the radiator
cooling fan: the electric fan may start;
danger of injury. Pay attention to scarves,
ties and other loose clothing which might
be pulled by moving parts.
158)Remove any metal objects (e.g. rings,
watches, bracelets), that might cause an
accidental electrical contact and cause
serious injury.
159)Batteries contain acid which may burn
skin and eyes. Batteries produce
hydrogen, which is easily flammable and
explosive. Thus keep away flames or
devices which may cause sparks.
WARNING
56)Do not connect the cable to the
negative terminal (–) of the flat battery. The
following spark could lead to battery
explosion and cause serious harm. Only
use the specific earth point; do not use any
other exposed metallic part.

IN AN EMERGENCY
UseFluid and lubricant specifications for
correct vehicle operationApplications
Brake fluidThe use of synthetic fluid for brake and clutch
systems is recommended. Exceeds
specifications: FMVSS No. 116 DOT 4, ISO
4925 SAE J1704. FIAT 9.55597 classification.Hydraulic brakes and hydraulic clutch controls
Protective agent for radiatorsThe use of red protective agent with antifreeze
action based on inhibited monoethylene glycol
with organic formula is recommended. Exceeds
CUNA NC 956-16, ASTM D 3306
specifications. FIAT 9.55523 classification.Cooling circuits proportion: 50% water and
50% coolant.
(*) (**)
Diesel fuel additiveThe use of additive for diesel with antifreeze
and protective action for diesel engines is
recommended.To be mixed with diesel (25 cc per 10 litres)
Windscreen/rear window washer fluidThe use of a mixture of spirits and surfactants is
recommended. Exceeds CUNA NC 956-11
specifications. FIAT 9.55522 classification.To be used diluted or undiluted in screen
washer/wiper systems
(*) IMPORTANT Do not top up or mix with other fluids which have different specifications from those described.
(**) For particularly harsh climate conditions, a mixture of 60% coolant and 40% demineralised water is recommended.
In the case of emergency, if lubricants with the prescribed specifications are not available, products with the minimum indicated
ACEA performance can be used for topping up; in this case optimal performance of the engine is not guaranteed.
WARNING
79)The use of products with specifications other than those indicated above could cause damage to the engine not covered by the warranty.
