❒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
(a visible metal part of the engine
or gearbox/transmission of the vehicle
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 is started, remove the
leads, reversing the order above.
If after a few attempts the engine does
not start, do not persist but contact
a Fiat Dealership.If it is often necessary to perform an
emergency starting, have the vehicle
battery and the recharging system
checked by a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Any accessories (e.g.
mobile phones, etc.) connected to the
vehicle power 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
148)Before opening the bonnet, make
sure that the engine is off and that the
ignition key is in the STOP position. Follow
the indications on the plate underneath
the bonnet. We recommend that you
remove the key from the ignition if other
people remain in the vehicle. The vehicle
should always be left after the key has
been removed or turned to the STOP
position. During refuelling, make sure that
the engine is off (and that the ignition key is
in the STOP position).
149)Do not get too close to the radiator
cooling fan: the electric fan may start;
danger of injury. Scarves, ties and other
loose clothing may be pulled by moving
parts.150)Remove any metal objects (e.g. rings,
watches, bracelets), that might cause an
accidental electrical contact and cause
serious injury.
151)Batteries contain acid which may burn
skin and eyes. Batteries produce
hydrogen, which is easily flammable and
explosive. Therefore, keep away flames or
devices which may cause sparks.
WARNING
55)Never use a fast battery-charger to
start the engine as this could damage the
electronic systems of your vehicle,
particularly the ignition and fuel supply
control units.
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.
