Before proceeding with refuelling, check
the symbols inside the fuel filler flap
(where provided) and compare them
with the symbols shown on the fuel
pump (where provided).

WARNING
124)Do not apply any object/plug to the
end of the filler which is not provided for
the car. The use of non-compliant
objects/plugs could cause a pressure
increase inside the tank, resulting in
dangerous situations.
125)Do not bring naked flames or lit
cigarettes near to the fuel filler: fire risk.
Keep your face away from the fuel filler to
prevent breathing in harmful vapours.
126)Do not use a mobile phone near the
refuelling pump: risk of fire.
IMPORTANT
48)For diesel engines, only use diesel fuel
for motor vehicles in accordance with EN
590 European specifications. The use of
other products or mixtures may damage
the engine beyond repair and consequently
invalidate the warranty, due to the damage
caused. If you accidentally introduce other
types of fuel into the tank, do not start the
engine. Empty the tank. If the engine has
been run for even an extremely limited
amount of time, you must not only drain the
fuel tank, but the rest of the supply circuit
as well.

The pages on emergencies can help
you to deal with critical situations
independently and with calm.
In an emergency we recommend that
you call the freephone number found in
the Warranty Booklet.
It is also possible to call the national or

IN AN EMERGENCY

EMERGENCY
STARTING
If the battery is flat, a jump starting can
be performed using the battery and the
cables of another vehicle, or using an
auxiliary battery. In all cases, the battery
used must have a capacity equal to or
a little higher than the flat one.
55)
IMPORTANT NOTES
Do not use an auxiliary battery or any
other source of external supply with a
voltage above 12 V: the battery, the
starter, the alternator and the electrical
system of the vehicle could be
damaged.
Do not attempt jump starting if the
battery is frozen. The battery could
break and explode!
PREPARATION TO JUMP
STARTING
The vehicle battery is located in the
engine compartment, behind the left
light cluster.
143) 144) 145) 146)
IMPORTANT The positive terminal (+) of
the battery is shielded by a protective
element. Raise it to access the terminal.
Proceed as follows:
operate the parking brake, move the
lever to P (Park), for versions equipped
with automatic transmission (if present),
or neutral, for versions with manual
gearbox, then set the ignition device to
STOP;
switch off all the other electrical
devices in the vehicle;
should you be using the battery of
another vehicle, park the other vehicle
within the range of the cables used for
the connection, operate the parking
brake and ensure that its ignition is off.
IMPORTANT Never connect the
negative terminals of the two batteries
directly! If the auxiliary battery is
installed on another vehicle, check that
there is no accidental contact of metal
parts between the two vehicles, since
an earth connection may result, with
the risk of serious injury to any people
who may be nearby.
IMPORTANT If the procedure below is
carried out incorrectly, it can cause
severe injury to people or damage the
recharging system of one or both
vehicles. Carefully follow the
instructions given below.
Cable connection
56)
Proceed as follows to carry out a jump
starting fig. 152:
connect one end of the cable used
for positive (+) to the positive terminal
(+) of the vehicle with flat battery;
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
(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;

141

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 a
jump starting, have the vehicle battery
and the recharging system checked by
a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
143)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).
144)Do not get too close to the radiator
cooling fan: the electric fan may start;
danger of injury. Scarves, ties and other
loose clothing might be pulled by moving
parts.145)Remove any metal objects (e.g. rings,
watches, bracelets), that might cause an
accidental electrical contact and cause
serious injury.
146)The batteries contain acid that can
burn skin or eyes. Batteries produce
hydrogen, which is easily flammable and
explosive. Therefore, keep away flames or
devices which may cause sparks.
IMPORTANT
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 engine 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.
FUEL CUT-OFF
SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
Diesel and petrol versions
This intervenes in the case of an impact
causing:
the interruption of the fuel supply
with the engine consequently switching
off;
the automatic unlocking of the
doors;
turning on of the lights inside the
vehicle;
deactivation of climate control
system ventilation;
switching on of the hazard warning
lights (to deactivate the lights press the
button on the dashboard).
On some versions, the intervention of
the system is indicated by a message
shown on the display. In the same way,
a dedicated message on the display
warns the driver if system operation is
compromised.
IMPORTANT Carefully check the vehicle
for fuel leaks, for instance in the engine
compartment, under the vehicle or near
the tank area. After a collision, bring the
ignition device to STOP to prevent the
battery from running down.
142
IN AN EMERGENCY

LPG versions
(where provided)
On LPG versions, in addition to the
above, the fuel cut-off system stops
petrol supply immediately, closes the
LPG safety solenoid valve and stops
injection, consequently shutting off the
engine.
