2017 FIAT QUBO jump start

IRREGULAR OPERATION
In the event of malfunctions the Start&Stop system is
disabled. The driver is informed of the problem by
the switching on of the general failure fig. 97 warning
light A, where provided, an information message
and the system failure fig. 97 icon B on the control
panel.
In this case, contact a Fiat Dealership.
VEHICLE INACTIVITY
In cases of car inactivity, special attention must be
paid due to the disconnection of the battery power
supply. Proceed as follows: disconnect connector
A fig. 98(by pressing button B) from the sensor C for
monitoring the status of the battery installed on
the negative pole D of the battery itself. This sensor
should never be disconnected from the pole except
if the battery is replaced.IMPORTANT After turning the ignition key to STOP,
wait at least 1 minute before disconnecting the
electrical supply to the battery.
WARNING
If the batter y needs to be replaced,
always contact a Fiat Dealership.
Replace the battery with a new one of the
same type and specifications.
EMERGENCY STARTING
In the event of emergency starting fig. 99 with a
booster battery, never connect the negative lead (-)
of the booster battery to the negative pole C of
the vehicle's battery, but rather to an engine/gearbox
earth point (follow the lead connection procedure
described in the "Jump starting" paragraph in the
chapter "In an emergency").

INDEX

Warning lightwill blink for 60 seconds
after starting or during prolonged
cranking to indicate a fault to the glow
plug heating system. Use the vehicle normally if
the engine starts, but go to a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible.
HOW TO WARM UP THE ENGINE AFTER IT
HAS JUST STARTED
Proceed as follows:
drive off slowly, letting the engine turn at medium
revs. Do not accelerate abruptly;
do not demand to performance for the first few
kilometres. Wait until the engine coolant gauge
starts moving.
EMERGENCY STARTING
Go to a Fiat Dealership immediately if warning light
comes on steady on the instrument panel.
Never jump start the engine by pushing,
towing or coasting downhill.This could
cause fuel to flow into the catalytic
conver ter and damage it beyond repair.STOPPING THE ENGINE
Turn the ignition key to STOP while the engine is
idling.
IMPORTANT After a long drive, you should allow
the engine to “catch its breath” before turning it off
by letting it idle to allow the temperature in the
engine compartment to fall.
A quick burst on the accelerator before
turning off the engine serves absolutely no
practical purpose, it wastes fuel and is
especially damaging to turbocharged engines.

IN AN EMERGENCY
In an emergency, we recommend that you call the freephone number found in the Warranty
Booklet.You can also go to the www.fiat.com website to find your nearest Fiat Dealership.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Go to a Fiat Dealership immediately if warning light
comes on steady on the instrument panel.
JUMP STARTING
If the battery is flat, the engine may be started using
an auxiliary battery with capacity either the same
or a little higher than the flat one.
Proceed as follows to start the car fig. 126:
connect positive terminals (+ near the terminal) of
the two batteries with a jump lead;
with a second lead, connect the negative terminal
(-) of the auxiliary battery to an earthing point
on the engine or the gearbox of the vehicle to
be started;
start the engine;
when the engine has been started, remove the
leads reversing the order above.
If after a few attempts the engine does not start, do
not keep trying but contact a Fiat Dealership.IMPORTANT Do not directly connect the negative
terminals of the two batteries: sparks could ignite
explosive gas released from the battery. If the
auxiliary battery is installed on another vehicle,
prevent accidental contact between metallic parts of
the two vehicles.
Strictly avoid using a rapid battery
charger for jump starting: this could
damage the system electronics and the
ignition and engine supply control units.
