JUMP STARTING
26) 13)
If the battery is flat, the engine may be
started using an auxiliary battery with
the same capacity or a little higher than
the flat one.
IMPORTANT After turning the ignition
key to STOP and having closed the
driver’s side door, wait at least one
minute before disconnecting the
battery and then reconnecting the
electrical supply to the battery.
Proceed as follows:
Engage the handbrake on both
vehicles and place the gearbox
in neutral. Connect the positive
terminals (+mark near the terminal) of
the two batteries using a suitable lead.
With a second cable, connect
the negative terminal –of the auxiliary
battery to an earthing point E
on the
engine or the transmission of the car 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 persist 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 car, prevent accidental contact
between metallic parts of the two cars.
For versions with Start&Stop
In the case of emergency starting,
NEVER connect the negative lead (–) of
the auxiliary battery to negative pole (–)
of the battery, but only to an earth
point on the engine/gearbox assembly.
