IMPORTANT Do not directly connect
the negative terminals of the two
batteries: any sparks may ignite the
explosive gas which could come
out of the battery. If the auxiliary
battery is installed on another
vehicle, avoid any metal parts on the
latter and the vehicle with the flat
battery from accidentally coming
into contact.

BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by
pushing, towing or coasting
downhill. This could cause fuel to
flow into the catalytic converter and
damage it beyond repair.IMPORTANT Remember that the
brake booster and the electric
power steering system are
not active until the engine is started,
so you will need to apply much
more force to the brake pedal or
steering wheel.
IMPORTANT
29) Never use a fast battery-charger
for emergency starting of the
engine as this could damage the
electronic systems of your vehicle,
particularly the ignition and fuel
supply control units.
WARNING
121) This procedure must be
performed by qualified personnel
as incorrect actions may cause
high-intensity electrical discharge.
Furthermore, battery fluid is
poisonous and corrosive: avoid
contact with skin and eyes. Keep
naked flames away from the
battery. No smoking. Do not cause
sparks.

WARNING
123) Before starting towing
operations, turn the ignition key to
MAR and then to STOP, without
extracting it. If the key is
extracted, the steering lock
engages automatically and it is
consequently impossible to steer
the wheels.
124) Clean the threaded seat
carefully before fastening the ring.
Before towing the vehicle, make
sure that the tow ring is fully
tightened in its appropriate
housing. Do not start the engine
whilst the vehicle is being towed.125) When towing, remember that
greater effort is required on the
brake pedal in order to brake,
since the brake servo is not
providing assistance. Do not use
flexible cables when towing and
avoid jerky movements. During
towing operations, make sure that
the fastened joint does not
damage adjoining components.
When towing the vehicle, comply
with the specific rules of the
highway code regarding the
towing device and road conduct.
Do not start the engine whilst
the vehicle is being towed.
